Hamilton was an IWC ambassador for over a decade, and since joining Ferrari in 2025 he's also been photographed wearing Richard Mille pieces. Almost all of his watches are special or limited editions made specifically for him — here's the one closest to a fiche Cazador already publishes.

On the podium at the 2022 Bahrain Grand Prix, celebrating his third-place finish, Hamilton wore the IWC Big Pilot's Watch Perpetual Calendar Top Gun "Mojave Desert", in a 46.5mm ceramic case. It's the same family as Cazador's IW501001 (Big Pilot's Watch), but a ceramic Top Gun variant rather than the standard steel execution — documented here as the closest match, not an exact one.
Closest documented reference, not the exact one confirmed by the source.
None of Hamilton's verified associations exactly match a standard catalog reference: he almost always wears special editions made for him (IWC Top Gun) or Richard Mille pieces, a brand Cazador doesn't yet cover. The Big Pilot Top Gun is the closest, by family, to our IW501001 fiche.
