Kimi Antonelli's Watch: The IWC IW388108 on His F1 Title Podium

Kimi Antonelli wore an IWC Pilot's Watch Chronograph 41 Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team, reference IW388108, on the podium in Mexico City on November 1, 2026. That was the day he clinched the F1 title at age 20, as Robb Report reported. The IW388108 is a 41 mm titanium chronograph with a black dial, Petronas-green markers and IWC's in-house caliber 69385. IWC released it in 2022 as the first official Mercedes team watch. Three other IWCs are on record on his wrist, and this guide covers them all.

Which IWC does Kimi Antonelli wear?

Four IWCs are on record on his wrist. The latest is the IW388108, the Mercedes team chronograph he wore on the Mexico City podium on November 1, 2026. Robb Report also says he wore a new Pilot's Watch Chronograph 41 "Le Petit Prince" at the Miami Grand Prix in 2026. It gave no reference; see our steel IW388120 and ceramic IW389410 pages.

In October 2026, Motorsport.com reported him wearing an IWC Ingenieur Automatic 35 at the Bahrain Grand Prix weekend at Sepang. The report gives no reference or dial color; see our IWC Ingenieur collection for the references we can source. The earliest is the Pilot's Watch Mark XX Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team (IW328210), named by Boss Hunting in an interview published on March 15, 2025.

Before his debut, IWC's journal welcomed him into the IWC family and presented two team pieces with him, the IW328210 and the Big Pilot's Watch Shock Absorber XPL Toto Wolff, IW356201, limited to 100 pieces.

What is the IWC IW388108 Antonelli wore on the podium?

It is the Pilot's Watch Chronograph 41 Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team. IWC launched it at the first Miami Grand Prix in May 2022 as the first official team watch, for the team's engineers, strategists and mechanics. It is not limited. So it is a team watch that anyone can buy, not a driver edition.

Robb Report noted that he chose a 2022 reference over IWC's newer team releases, such as the purple IW388121. We source it to order through our IWC Pilot's Watch Chronograph 41 Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team (IW388108) page.

What are the specs of the IWC Mark XX Mercedes F1 Team IW328210?

The IW328210 is a 40 mm titanium pilot's watch on IWC's automatic caliber 32111, launched in January 2025 and not limited.

IWC said mechanics, engineers and race strategists would wear it trackside throughout 2025, so it is a team watch, not a driver edition. We source it to order through our IWC Pilot's Watch Mark XX Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team (IW328210) page.

Why does IWC make the Mercedes F1 team's watches?

IWC Schaffhausen has been the Official Engineering Partner of the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team since 2013, which is why the team's drivers and crew wear IWC. In that time Mercedes works drivers have won eight drivers' titles: Lewis Hamilton in 2014, 2015 and 2017 to 2020, Nico Rosberg in 2016 and Antonelli in 2026. The Mark XX IW328210 was the team watch for 2025.

In February 2026, IWC added two George Russell limited editions: the Pilot's Watch Automatic 41 (IW328107) and the Chronograph 41 (IW389411), each limited to 1,063 pieces. In August it added a purple-dial Pilot's Watch Chronograph 41 Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team, IW388121, as a tribute to the Singapore Grand Prix. See George Russell's IWC Pilot's Watch Chronograph 41 (IW389411), and for the Hamilton era, IWC's Lewis Hamilton editions and what he wore.

How do the IWC watches linked to Antonelli compare?

Seven IWC watches are connected to Antonelli or his team, and four are on record on his wrist: the IW388108 on the title podium, a Le Petit Prince Chronograph 41 at Miami in 2026, an Ingenieur Automatic 35 at Sepang in October 2026 and the IW328210 in 2025.

Bands rest on US list prices, including the IW388108 retail price Robb Report quoted and, for the Ingenieur 35, the retail price Motorsport.com quoted. The Le Petit Prince band spans US retailer prices for steel and ceramic. The IW388121 band is an estimate converted from its Swiss list price.

Boss Hunting reported in March 2025 that he had his sights on the TOP GUN Oceana; in the same interview he said blue is his favorite color. It pairs a 15.5 mm-thick matte blue ceramic case with titanium pushers, crown and case back and a tone-on-tone blue dial; see the IWC Pilot's Watch Chronograph 41 TOP GUN Oceana (IW389404).

What are Kimi Antonelli's IWC watches worth?

The IW388108 sits in the high four figures new, going by the US retail price Robb Report quoted. It is not limited and has been on sale since 2022, so pre-owned examples should trade below new. A title podium alone should not change that.

The IW328210 launched in January 2025 at a US list price in the mid four figures. It is not limited, so pre-owned examples should trade at or below the new price, depending on condition and a complete set of papers; ask us for today's price on a specific watch. An Ingenieur Automatic 35 sits in the low five figures new, going by the retail price Motorsport.com quoted.

A famous wrist does not, on its own, lift the price of a regular-production reference; documented provenance does. The benchmark is Lewis Hamilton's IW388306: the exact watch he wore on the podium after winning the 2024 British Grand Prix for Mercedes sold for a low-six-figure sum in Swiss francs at Bonhams' Laureus Charity Night in Zurich in October 2024, with proceeds going to Laureus Sport for Good. That was a charity result for one documented watch, not a market price: a new IWC Pilot's Watch Performance Chronograph 41 Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team (IW388306) sits in the low five figures.

Is Kimi Antonelli F1's youngest world champion?

Yes. He clinched the 2026 title at the Mexico City Grand Prix on November 1 by finishing third, behind Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton. Born in Bologna on August 25, 2006, he is champion at 20. That beats Sebastian Vettel's 2010 record of 23 years and 134 days by more than three years. He is also Italy's first champion since Alberto Ascari in 1953.

He left Mexico with 380 points, more than any rival can reach in the races left, per Formula1.com. It is the eighth title for a Mercedes works driver in the IWC era, and the first since Hamilton in 2020.
