COCKPIT COMES WITH CAMOUFLAGE

The design of the new Pilot’s Watch Chronograph TOP GUN Miramar is characterized by the metallic tone of the ceramic case and the matte anthracite of the dial. Typical colours, such as beige, grey and green, underscore the military-style design. The bracelet is a direct reference to the extremely tough belts typically used by military air personnel. The unusual division into an external chapter ring and an inner hour circle is reminiscent of the deck watches typical of the 1930s and 40s, and, by extension, the historical legacy of IWC Pilot’s Watches. The DNA is repeated in the design of the date display, which bears a direct resemblance to the altimeter in a cockpit. Thanks to the integrated flyback function, depressing the reset button returns the running stopwatch hand to zero and immediately starts recording another measurement of time. The watch also owes its convenient 68-hour power reserve to further development of the IWC-manufactured 89365 calibre. A soft-iron inner case protects the precision movement against magnetism.
