IWC unveils stylish Pilot’s Watch Mark XX inspired by Formula 1

An all-green IWC watch that'll remind you of Formula 1, before the 2025 season begins

Even though it’s not the peak season for Formula 1 races, IWC unveiled a stylish new watch that draws inspiration from Formula 1.

In the past 11 years—from 20013 to 2024—IWC and Mercedes Benz have been launching fascinating timepieces into the market, such as the Pilot’s Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One IW388306. The partnership runs deep, and the latest addition is a reminder of that.

While IWC x Mercedes Benz timepieces are often rolled out with different features and functionalities, some of these watches have the same hue—an interesting teal green color. The green shade is the go-to hue while designing timepieces for the Mercedes Benz Team.

And everyone on the Mercedes Benz team, from Toto Wolff to Lewis Hamilton, has been spotted with an IWC watch. Watches from the previous generation had a few components that were accentuated by the green hue—IWC aimed for minimalism.

The luxury brand didn’t take any chances with the new timepiece—it went all in with the color.

Featuring a casing that’s constructed from titanium, the IWC Pilot’s Watch Mark XX comes with noticeable elements that are quite effective in highlighting the contrast created by green and grey components. And thanks to the sand-blasted finish, the casing reflects light stylishly.

The watch also features a dial, with black accents and green shade—colors that complement the IWC x Mercedes look. And just above the 6 O’clock denotation, there’s a green inscription that reads this: Mark XX.

In terms of overall performance, this watch is equipped with the IWC 32111 caliber.

The watch retails for $6,100.

Your underwear is probably gross now: Embrace the refresh
How long should you wear your underwear? An expert gives us insight.
Clothing, Undershirt, Adult

I am on an underwear kick right now. I can't help it. I have been reevaluating my underwear drawer since I had my conversation with David Ehrenberg, the CEO of Pair of Thieves, earlier this week. I mean, how often do men think about their underwear? The truth is, while we don't think about it often (hopefully you are a little bit after reading my last article with David), I have discovered we actually DO think about it in some ways. We just need to change how we think about it. Ladies, go ahead, ask your guy what underwear he is wearing right now. There will be two answers. 1 - "No clue, what did you buy me?" 2 - "My favorites." We're weird about it. We all have at least one pair we wear all the time. It is our favorite pair. Then we have the others, the ones that are just the day-to-day. And finally, we have the ones we never want to wear, but it's a laundry emergency, so we must. In all likelihood, this pair has been with us since Mom bought them for us. That's right, yeeeeeeeears ago.

Fellas, it's gross. I often think about a movie quote from Smokin' Aces, by the always-great Jeremy Piven. "There is not a laundry detergent or dry cleaning product known to man that will get that out. Suffice it to say, some sh*t, don't wash out." There is a moment in time when your underwear is done for, beyond saving. But, when do you know when to give up on old faithful? David and I hashed it out.

Tucked back off a small street, Rue de Monceau, in Paris, just a short 8-minute walk from Parc Monceau to the Northeast of the Eiffel Tower, sits a museum many Americans miss on their trips to the City of Love. Musée Nissim de Camondo is home to a wide collection of French art from the 1700s. It is draped in tapestries and adorned with artifacts displaying the beauty of French artistic creativity. This week, it also happened to be home to Dior's Summer Men's Show. These destination shows by the iconic French fashion house, have been home to some of the most pivotal moments in fashion progression. From the "New Look" event a year after the company was formed in 1947, to the "Russian Catwalk" in Moscow in 1959, to this season. What did the attendees of this event experience (other than sweltering heat)? Unexpected changes to classic lines and fabrics that ask the wearer to look to the future.
