This marks the 16th special edition watch from IWC in collaboration with the Laureus Sport for Good foundation. This exclusive timepiece aims to highlight IWC’s support for the work Laureus Sport for Good undertakes around the world. It is limited to 1,000 pieces and features a Laureus blue dial.

Laureus Sport for Good operates in 50 countries and supports over 250 programs around the world. These programs use sport to change the lives of children and youth around the world and they promote social change in the effort to to end violence and discrimination.

This exclusive watch comes in a very wearable 39″ diameter stainless steel case and the chronograph is fitted on a black calfskin strap. There’s a particularly special engraving on the back of the watch. This is the winning entry from the drawing competition which IWC organizes every year within each Laureus program.

The drawing depicts hands united as equals. It was created by 15-year-old, Jatin Malhan, who is a goalkeeper for the Youth Football Club Rurka Kalan in the Jalandhar district of Punjab, India. The program in which Jatin participated empowers and inspires young people to drive change in their communities by promoting tolerance, community spirit, and gender equality throughout sport and education.
