IWC Goes Full Military Spec With A Camouflage Top Gun Timepiece

Strikingly masculine from every angle – if you don’t lose it in the sand. That’s one way to describe one of the most impressive timepieces to come out of IWC’s latest Pilot’s Watch collection at SIHH 2019.

The Swiss watchmaker debuted a four tier line-up which included the Spitfire model, “Le Petit Prince” models, “Antoine de Saint Exupéry” models and our pick of the bunch, the latest TOP GUN watches.

The 2019 hero piece under this banner is the Pilot’s Watch Double Chronograph TOP GUN Ceratanium – the first pilot’s watch from IWC to feature the brand’s proprietary Ceratanium case which boasts the lightweight properties of titanium alongside the scratch-resistant hardness of ceramic.

Our pick though is the stunning Pilot’s Watch Chronograph TOP GUN Edition “Mojave Desert”, IWC’s first watch with a case crafted entirely from sand-coloured ceramic. Adding to its exclusivity is a limited production run of just 500 pieces.
