A year after release, the fictional team's merchandise has quietly become a scarcity story. The team tee is down to a single size in each colourway. The 41mm IWC chronograph is sold out at authorised dealers while the 43mm is still at list. And the watch on the lead driver's wrist was never sold to anyone — it does not exist as a product. We checked every claim below against live inventory data on 10 August 2026, size by size.
Below: the four categories every APXGP item falls into, what is genuinely left, and the one piece that is fully stocked precisely because nobody thought to hunt it.
Four categories, and only two of them are shoppable
The confusion around this film's merchandise comes from mixing these up. Sorted honestly:
| Category | Example | Can you buy it? |
|---|---|---|
| Screen prop | Sonny Hayes's green-dial Ingenieur | No — never sold |
| Limited edition, closed | IWC Ingenieur Automatic 40 IW328908, 1,000 pieces | Effectively no |
| Current product | IWC APXGP chronographs; APXGP team kit | Yes |
| Marketing capsule, ended | Tommy Hilfiger APXGP collection | No longer listed |
The watch that was never a product
Start here, because it is the item people most want and the one nobody explains properly.
The watch worn by the veteran driver is not a catalogue reference. IWC's own announcement describes it as the result of a collaboration between IWC Schaffhausen and Cloister Watch Company, a studio that builds bespoke pieces from vintage watches — the base being a 1970s Ingenieur SL Ref. 1832, slimmed down and refitted with an olive-green dial specifically for the film. aBlogtoWatch's hands-on account and Swisswatches Magazine's report on IWC's own short film about the build both document the same chain. One-off, prop, not for sale, and no amount of searching will change that.
What IWC did release is four watches inspired by the film, gathered on its own F1 collection site:
- Ingenieur Automatic 40, IW328908 — limited to 1,000 pieces, green "Grid" dial, the retail echo of the prop
- Pilot's Watch Chronograph APXGP, IW378009 — 43mm steel, APXGP logo on the caseback
- Pilot's Watch Chronograph 41 APXGP, IW388116 — 41mm steel
- Pilot's Watch Performance Chronograph 41, IW388309 — 18ct gold, worn on screen by the rookie driver
A disclosure about our own limits: IWC's retail site would not load from our location today, so rather than repeat prices we could not see, we checked authorised dealers whose live inventory we could read. That is the data below.
What the watches actually cost now
From dealer inventory feeds, 10 August 2026:
| Reference | Price | Status |
|---|---|---|
| IW378009, 43mm | $7,700 | In stock |
| IW388116, 41mm | $7,500 | Sold out |
The pattern is worth naming because it is the opposite of what most people assume. The smaller, cheaper 41mm is the one that sold through; the larger 43mm is still available at list. Same watch design, $200 apart, and the market chose the wearable-on-more-wrists size. A second authorised dealer, Greenleaf & Crosby, lists the 43mm at the identical $7,700 — so that figure is the real market price, not one shop's markup.
On the 1,000-piece limited Ingenieur: it is the piece tied most directly to the prop — a green "Grid"-patterned dial with gold-plated appliqués in steel, a production reading of the one-off. A thousand watches against a billion-dollar film's audience was never going to be enough. Treat it as a secondary-market object now. We saw resale figures quoted around three times list, but we could not load the listings ourselves, so we are not putting a number in your head.
The team kit: down to single sizes
This is where the interesting scarcity is, and where nobody has actually looked.
TheRaceWorks, an official licensed motorsport retailer, still carries the APXGP line — and it is discounted from original list. But the headline price hides the real situation, which only shows up at variant level. Here is exactly what remains in the US store today:
| Item | Price | Sizes actually left |
|---|---|---|
| Team Tee, Black | $39 (from $56) | S only |
| Team Tee, Ivory | $39 | M only |
| Team Hoodie, Black | $82 (from $118) | XS, M, L |
| Team Hoodie, Ivory | $82 | M, L |
| Photo Collage Hoodie, Black | $82 | L, XL, 2XL |
| Women's Crew Sweatshirt, Ivory | $62 (from $104) | XS–2XL, every size |
Read the last row twice. The women's crew sweatshirt is the only APXGP garment still available in every single size, at the largest discount in the range. It is also, by our reading, the best-designed piece — a plain crew in ivory with the team mark, which is a garment you can wear somewhere other than a race weekend.
The tees are the ones to move on if you want them. A single size left in each colourway is the last stage before a product disappears.
UK and Europe: TheRaceWorks' main store prices the same items at £27.99 for the tee, £59.49 for the hoodie and £44.99 for the crew sweatshirt, with fuller availability than the US storefront.
Shipping, the useful detail: the US store's own delivery terms state that TheRaceWorks covers tariffs and customs clearance fees on US orders — unusual, and worth perhaps ten to twenty dollars against retailers that leave duties to you. An Australian storefront exists as well. Canadian shipping is not covered by a dedicated section in their terms, so Canadian readers should confirm before ordering.
What has quietly disappeared
Formula 1's own announcement launched the merchandise globally through the official F1 Store at $55–125 — hoodies, caps, bucket hats, a film-still collage tee. That store blocked our automated checks, so we cannot report its current stock; if you want the widest official selection, it is still the first place to look, and you will have to look yourself.
The Tommy Hilfiger APXGP capsule looks finished. Its collection page has been removed from at least one regional Tommy storefront and redirects to general new arrivals with no APXGP product remaining. Archived snapshots show the collection ran at 30–40% off with low inventory warnings before it went. If you see one secondhand, that is now the only route.
If you cannot have it
For the watch: the honest read is that $7,700 is the entry point to an APXGP-marked IWC, and the piece everyone actually wants — the green Ingenieur from the film — is a prop that does not exist at retail. If what you love is the green dial rather than the badge, vintage Ingenieur SL references are a real collecting field with their own merits, and the film has raised their profile rather than their scarcity.
For the kit: if your size is gone in the tee, the women's crew sweatshirt at $62 is fully stocked and the better garment. If you want the team mark specifically, the UK storefront currently has more depth than the US one and ships internationally.
Our recommendation: buy the crew sweatshirt, skip the resale watch market, and treat the Tommy capsule as gone. A year after a film's release, a licensing programme in this state does not get restocked — it gets discontinued.
FAQ
What watch does Sonny Hayes wear in F1 The Movie? A one-off prop: a vintage IWC Ingenieur SL Ref. 1832 fitted with a custom green dial, made with Cloister Watch Company specifically for the film. IWC confirms this in its own press release. It was never sold.
Can I buy an IWC APXGP watch? Yes — the 43mm Pilot's Watch Chronograph APXGP (IW378009) is in stock at authorised dealers at $7,700. The 41mm version (IW388116, $7,500) is sold out at the dealer we checked.
Is the limited edition Ingenieur still available? It was limited to 1,000 pieces and is no longer a current retail proposition. It exists on the secondary market at a premium we could not independently verify.
Where can I still buy APXGP clothing? TheRaceWorks carries the line: tees at $39, hoodies at $82, the women's crew sweatshirt at $62 in the US store, with UK pricing at £27.99 / £59.49 / £44.99.
Which sizes are left? As of 10 August 2026 in the US store: the black tee is S only, the ivory tee is M only, the black hoodie has XS/M/L. The women's crew sweatshirt is the only item with every size in stock.
What happened to the Tommy Hilfiger APXGP collection? It appears to have ended. The collection page has been removed from at least one regional storefront and now redirects to general new arrivals with no APXGP items remaining.
Does TheRaceWorks ship internationally? Yes, with US, UK and Australian storefronts. Notably their US terms state they cover tariffs and customs clearance fees. Canadian shipping is not addressed by a dedicated section in those terms.
Is APXGP merchandise official if the team is fictional? Yes. APXGP is a licensed property of the film, and the merchandise runs through Formula 1's own store and official licensed motorsport retailers, alongside the IWC partnership.
