An Ode to the “Grand Edition”

The new Big Pilot’s Watch AMG G 63, an epitome of luxury, is a tribute to the recently introduced Mercedes-AMG G 63 “Grand Edition”, a remarkable symbol of automotive excellence. This timepiece mirrors the bold black and gold theme of the car, presenting a unique blend of style and functionality.

Features of the Big Pilot’s Watch

The timepiece combines an elaborately finished 18-carat Armor Gold® case with a textured black dial and a black rubber strap with microfibre inlay

The white outer rings of the sub-dials for the power reserve and the small seconds mimic the distinctive headlights of the G-Class

The Story of the Unique Design

The uniqueness of this special edition watch lies in the contrast of black and gold, akin to the Mercedes-AMG G 63 “Grand Edition”. The timepiece boasts an 18-carat Armor Gold® case and crown, a material known for its superior hardness and wear-resistance compared to traditional red gold. The black dial, with a texture inspired by the front grilles and air intakes of Mercedes-AMG cars, further enhances the timepiece’s contemporary look.

More Details on the Design

The timepiece’s design features include three-dimensional appliques coated with black PVD and filled with beige luminescent material. The white rings of the sub-dials for small seconds and power reserve, reminiscent of the G-Class’ headlights, add to the aesthetic appeal of the watch.

Comments from the Chief Design Officer

“In the 20th year of our partnership with Mercedes-AMG, we are adding another edition to our legendary line‑up of special Big Pilot’s Watches. Inspired by the typical design elements of the G-Class and the bold colour scheme of the recently launched Grand Edition, the striking design of the Big Pilot’s Watch AMG G 63 is luxurious and almost exuberant.”
