brand IWC Schaffhausen has been known for its sophisticated and powerful pilot watches. The brand pioneered the soft inner iron case in the 1930s, making its pilot's watches anti-magnetic. Now, IWC has achieved another success by supporting the Polestar Dawn human spaceflight mission and creating a special Pilot's Chronograph Edition Polestar Dawn watch. The collection is so special that only four pieces were made, each of which will be worn in space before being auctioned off in support of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

Polaris Dawn watches are bright white ceramics made using a complex manufacturing process in which zirconia is mixed with other metal oxides in specific proportions and then sintered at extremely high temperatures. Featuring a beautiful "space" blue dial (a color more reminiscent of the Earth's blue ocean seen from the dark of space), this 44.5mm watch is designed to support the Polaris space mission due in late 2022. The titanium case backs of the four watches are engraved with the name of one of the four crew members who will wear his or her watch during the five-day mission. When the watches return to Earth, they will be auctioned off to raise money for St. Jude Children's Hospital.

The Polaris Dawn mission is the first of three crewed spaceflights for the Polaris Program in partnership with SpaceX. The mission is commanded by Jared Isaacman, an American entrepreneur and mission commander for last year's Inspiration4 mission.

Throughout the mission, scientific research focuses on advancing human health on Earth (in partnership with St. Jude Children's Research Hospital) and understanding long-term spaceflight and its impact on human health. Individuals will spend five days in space, will attempt the highest Earth orbit ever, and will attempt the first commercial spacewalk. In addition to Isaacman, the crew included retired U.S. Air Force Lt. Col. Scott "Kidd" Portitt and SpaceX chief space operations engineers Sarah Gillis and Anna Menon.
