The colourway will please both the Tiger faithful and luxury watch enthusiasts, with a new dial and hands in a beautiful, striking yellow to reflect the Richmond colours. Staying true to the big pilot expression, it features a 48mm black ceramic case that sits prominently on the wrist. The unique piece also comes equipped with a titanium caseback with a personal engraving, paying tribute to Kennedy and the Brownlow Medalist.

Not only a pretty face, the timepiece includes notable movement specifications. Possessing a 7-day power reserve, the 5111 Calibre features IWC’s proprietary Pellaton automatic winding mechanism and a soft-iron inner case for protection against magnetic fields.
