PILOTS CHRONO TOP GUN WOODLAND 44,5MM

Pilot’s Watch Chronograph TOP GUN Edition “Woodland”
A dark green hue, inspired by the flight suits of and uniforms of TOPGUN pilots, as well as the vast forest landscapes whose airspaces these pilots use as a training area; “Woodland” is the newest addition to IWC’s colored ceramic portfolio, and the Pilot’s Watch Chronograph TOP GUN Edition “Woodland” is the first model to feature this color code. Colored ceramics result from a sophisticated manufacturing process in which zirconium oxide is mixed with other metallic oxides. Because the color changes during the sintering process, it takes countless trials and a lot of experience to determine the right blend of raw materials. The monochromatic design is completed by a dark green dial and black hands and printing and luminescent material in a subdued green. The pushers, crown, and case back with an engraving of the TOP GUN logo are made of Ceratanium®. This matte black IWC material is as light and unbreakable as titanium and, at the same time, similarly hard and scratch-resistant as ceramic. Inside the 44-millimetre ceramic case, the IWC-manufactured 69380 calibre is at work. The chronograph movement in classic column-wheel design also features a day and date display at 3 o’clock. A soft-iron inner case shields the movement from the effects of magnetic fields. This TOP GUN chronograph is fitted on a green rubber strap with textile inlay, whose color has been perfectly matched to the “Woodland” case.
