George Russell is a well-known British racing driver who has worked with IWC Schaffhausen to develop a line of Pilot’s Watches. The watches in this series are intended to evoke the spirit of flight as well as the precision required in racing.
In 2013, the IWC Pilot’s Watch Chronograph Edition “Racing” was the first watch in the series. This watch had a stainless steel casing and a black dial with red accents, which were inspired by Russell’s racing team’s colors. The watch was powered by an IWC-made 89361 caliber movement and included a flyback function as well as a tachymeter scale.
IWC produced the IWC Pilot’s Watch Chronograph Edition “George Russell” in 2020. This watch, which is limited to 250 pieces, has a stainless steel case with a blue dial and white subdials inspired by the colors of the British flag. The watch is powered by an IWC-made 69380 caliber movement and features a chronograph function as well as a date display.

In addition, the IWC Pilot’s Watch Automatic 36 Edition “George Russell” was released in 2021. This timepiece has a stainless steel casing with a blue dial and is powered by the IWC 35111 caliber movement. It contains a date display and is waterproof to 6 bar.
Overall, George Russell’s cooperation with IWC has produced some remarkable Pilot’s Watches that reflect both his racing love and the precision required in flight.
To commemorate Russell’s participation in the British Grand Prix, IWC created a unique edition of the Pilot’s Watch Chronograph in 2020, in addition to the two watches mentioned above. The black ceramic body and dial with a black carbon-fiber finish give the watch a high-tech and sporty appearance. It is powered by an IWC-manufactured 69380 caliber movement, sports a chronograph function, a date display, and a power reserve of 46 hours.
The George Russell series watches all show IWC’s hallmark accuracy and attention to detail, as well as their commitment to quality and endurance. Each watch is one-of-a-kind and is designed to Russell’s interests and preferences, making them highly sought-after by racing and watch lovers alike.
Aside from his work with IWC, George Russell is also a brand ambassador for Montblanc, a premium watch manufacturer. He is frequently spotted wearing their watches both on and off the track, demonstrating his appreciation for exquisite timepieces.

Russell will continue to work for Mercedes alongside Hamilton in 2023. After finishing sixth in the season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix, he remarked that the team was “a long way behind” and that rival Red Bull Racing “should win every single race this season.” At the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, he qualified fourth and finished fourth. When Fernando Alonso earned a penalty that Russell described as “too extreme,” he was temporarily promoted to the podium. Alonso’s penalty was later reversed, and Russell was eventually ranked fourth. At the Australian Grand Prix, he qualified second and took the lead from Max Verstappen at the start. He pitted during a safety car interval, but the race was then red-flagged, leaving him stranded.
