Like IWC, there are few brands specializing in pilot watches. The brand has a long and rich lineage in this area, and since the series returned in the mid-1990s, IWC has worked with some of the best squadrons and special forces-including Top Gun.
There are few brands specializing in pilot watches like IWC. The brand has a long and rich lineage in this area, and since the series returned in the mid-1990s, IWC has worked with some of the best squadrons and special forces-including Top Gun. Now, IWC unveiled its latest release, the new IWC Pilot's Watch Chronograph Edition Blue Angels replica IW389008. The blue-clad model is a special edition of the Schaffhausen-based brand's Pilot's Watch Chronograph series, released in partnership with the U.S. Navy's Blue Angels.
The Blue Angels Squadron is composed of McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornets (since 1986), which are currently flown by five Navy demonstration pilots and one Marine Corps demonstration pilot. Compared to military versions of the "Hornet", modifications include removal of the weapons and replacement with the tank that contains smoke-oil used in demonstrations, as well as the special "Blue Angels" livery, bright navy blue with yellow accents.
The case is robust, to say the least, with a 44.5mm diameter and 15.7mm height. Don't expect this watch to fly under the radar (pun intended). It is complemented by a textured blue calfskin strap and secured by a sandblasted steel folding buckle. The back of the strap is executed in bright yellow leather. The caseback of this Chronograph Edition Blue Angels is plain steel, with a specific engraving as a testament to the licence.
As you might have noticed, this IWC Pilot Watch Chronograph Edition Blue Angels replica has a specific display, with the small seconds positioned at 6 o'clock and the chronograph’s elapsed minutes and hours displayed co-axially in a single counter at 12 o'clock. This is a clear indication of what ticks inside the case, as this ref. IW389008 does not feature a Sellita, Valjoux-based automatic chronograph movement, but something more advanced instead.

The Blue Angels Squadron
The "Blue Angels" is the U.S. Navy's flight demonstration squadron. It was initially formed in 1946, making it the second oldest formal aerobatic team - after the French Patrouille de France (formed 1931). As other demonstration squadrons, its role is to perform aerial displays and to demonstrate U.S. Navy's skills throughout the United States, and "to showcase the pride and professionalism of the United States Navy and Marine Corps by inspiring a culture of excellence and service to country".The Blue Angels Squadron is composed of McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornets (since 1986), which are currently flown by five Navy demonstration pilots and one Marine Corps demonstration pilot.

The Case
The IWC Pilot Chronograph Blue Angels 44.5mm Watch fake is housed in a classic material for the brand: zirconium oxide ceramic, which can be found in multiple recent creations. The case is treated in black, with a sandblasted finish – thus avoiding reflections, something that could be quite disturbing when flying Mach 1 and doing a barrel roll… Just saying! Crown and pushers are also executed in the classic IWC way, meaning in contrasting steel. I have always loved these metal elements in an untreated material, rather than having them coated. It is part of IWC's design, since the ref. 3705.The case is robust, to say the least, with a 44.5mm diameter and 15.7mm height. Don't expect this watch to fly under the radar (pun intended).

The Dial
The main element to catch the eye on this new IWC Pilot watch replica is the dial, which pays tribute to the colours found on the Blue Angels’ F/A-18 Hornets. As such, it shows a sunray-brushed blue background and multiple yellow accents, on the internal hour ring - which is inspired by early military observer’s watches - and the date numerals. The rest of the dial is familiar and made to be perfectly legible: large propeller-shaped hands in black with white lume, bold Arabic numerals for the minute markers and a triangle at 12 o'clock.As you might have noticed, this IWC Pilot Watch Chronograph Edition Blue Angels replica has a specific display, with the small seconds positioned at 6 o'clock and the chronograph’s elapsed minutes and hours displayed co-axially in a single counter at 12 o'clock.

The Movement

This modern engine is an integrated automatic chronograph with column-wheel and vertical clutch. It also features one of pilot’s favourite functions, the flyback or retour en vol, which allows to stop/start/reset the chronograph by one click on the pusher at 4 o'clock – used to do several calculations in a row. This manufacture calibre runs at 28,800 vibrations/hour and boasts 68 hours of power reserve.Price
