Review IWC Pilot's Watch Automatic Top Gun Ceramic Replica with Low Price

Review IWC Pilot's Watch Automatic Top Gun Ceramic Replica with Low Price


IWC presented the new Top Gun watch during SIHH 2019, introducing the Ceratanium material for the first time in a pilot dual chronograph. Included in the new edition are the "Mojave Desert" chronograph in sand-coloured ceramic and the black ceramic Top Gun Automatic as the entry point to the collection. We take a look back at the IWC Pilot's Watch Automatic Top Gun Ceramic replica IW326901 and see how it performs today, both as an entry point for the Top Gun and as an IWC Pilot's Watch.



The Case

IWC Pilot's Watch replica IW326901 measures 41mm, but it's the black ceramic case that really makes the difference. That matte black is just cooler, more modern and amplifies its tool watch character. This is one watch that goes perfectly well with that jeans-and-T-shirt-look, or that stands out during your rolled-up-sleeve-meeting at the bar. This case shape has withstood the test of time, and with good reason. It sits comfortably around the wrist and is just sleek enough to wear despite its serious size.

The case is made out of non-reflecting, black zirconium oxide ceramic, which is supposed to be the main reason for the price difference between the Classic and the Top Gun version. This matte black really does give the watch more personality and coolness.


Another fine detail I like is the stainless steel crown. This is not only practical (ceramic or coated crowns are just no good), it also gives the overall design a little bit more depth. When you wear the watch on your wrist, the crown stands out even better. Maybe a larger, pilot-style crown would've been cooler.



The Dial

The dial is a classic IWC Pilot replica's dial. Large white Arabic numerals guarantee perfect legibility and a minute track spans the dial's edge with five-minute marks. Not completely necessary but also not completely out of place is a date with numerals and black background window at 3 o'clock. The hands are black with plenty of white luminescence and have the same propeller shape as previous Pilot's models. Clean, legible, cool – just what you would need in your fighter pilot's life.



The Caseback

The caseback is titanium with the famous TOP GUN logo engraved in the centre. The crown screws down and allows the case to be water-resistant to 60 metres. The dial is protected by a domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on both sides, which is protected against displacement from sudden drops in air pressure.

IWC claims its 32110 calibre is "IWC-manufactured", which has the company stopping short of saying it's actually a manufacture movement. And for good reason. The 32110 calibre has an ETA 2892-A2 base, but that doesn't mean the company from Schaffhausen hasn't done anything to the movement. In fact, it's actually quite heavily modified. The escape wheel and pallet lever are made from silicon and the winding system has been replaced by IWC. This pawl system is a variety of IWC's much-praised Pellaton winding system. The power reserve has been expanded to 72 hours and IWC claims its lubricants are also different. Functions include central hours, minutes and seconds (hacking) with a date complication at 3 o'clock.



The Strap

The watch is standard delivered on a NATO strap, which of course is a cool choice, but also an odd one. First of all, NATO straps are quite cheap and the Top Gun replica is definitely not a cheap watch. (What's more interesting is that the cheaper Classic version is delivered with a leather strap made by Santoni…) The lug length of the case is just enough to let the watch fall nicely around the wrist even with a NATO strap, which really is a good thing.

In the licensed merchandise retail stores in Beijing, many people queued up for the first time to buy the relevant souvenirs, and the popularity was beyond imagination. The popularity of Bingdundun has also driven many things related to pandas, and the most closely related to the bezel is the  "Panda Dial" watch replica .

Review the IWC Pilot’s Watch Chronograph Edition ‘Tribute To 3705’ Replica

Review the IWC Pilot’s Watch Chronograph Edition ‘Tribute To 3705’ Replica The original IWC Fliegerchronograph Keramik Ref. 3705 replica performed like a true stealthy pilot’s watch: It flew right under the radar of watch enthusiasts the world over. After a few years of just 1,000 examples navigating the IWC catalogs, the 3705 disappeared on the horizons, only to now re-appear in the form of the IWC Pilot’s Watch Chronograph Edition “Tribute to 3705” replica IW387905 , and that’s the watch we have in for review for you today. The IWC 3705 Replica The IWC Reference 3705 replica was IWC’s first Pilot’s Watch replica in black zirconium oxide ceramic. That novel and early use of black ceramic, and the fact that it has gone under without anyone really recognizing it for what it was, renders it quite a fascinating watch. Its stainless steel equivalent, the IWC replica Ref. 3706 and its subsequent iterations have carried on the compact pilot’s watch theme, but there had not been a true co
