    Anyway....
    Here is my review of IWC's first official collaboration with the Mercedes formula one team.

    Lets start with the color of this watch. It is amazing. It looks like Tiffany blue which at the time of writing this article is hot. It is actually the team colors for Mercedes. I personally like it a lot.

    The watch wears VERY big. Lug to lug is massive for my 7 inch wrist. It is also very THICCCC. I am used to waering large watches so I don't mind it. If you're coming from a speedy you will have some getting used to.

    The movement is really good in this watch. 46 hour power reserve. Standard stuff but packs a punch!

    The watch comes with 2 straps. Mine was shipped with the black carbon fiber looking one. Then there is a green rubber one. I like them both but to tone the watch down I will buy a black rubber strap.

    Even though the watch is titanium it is actually still heavy. I like that. It feels significant. My No Time to Die is very very light and sometimes I forget how special that watch actually is. Sometimes I forget I'm wearing it due to the lightness.

    Lastly let talk about the Mercedes influence. There is not a single Mercedes mention on the front. Only the glass in the case-back. I actually don't Mercedes and I hate Hamilton but the watch is so nice I had to get it. You don't notice it is Mercedes inspired which I like!

    Overall this is a great watch but not for everyone. It is big and bulky. The color is funky. But if you buy one you will not be disappointed.
