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.

Breitling Launches the New Breitling Premier Heritage Replica Collection

Breitling Launches the New Breitling Premier Heritage Replica Collection When Breitling CEO Georges Kern continued to distance himself from the direction of the brand before the Schneider era, this time he relied on the brand’s own founding managers to inspire inspiration, thus obtaining three new references: The traditional  manual wind Premier Chronograph replica , the  sublime manual wind Premier Duograph rattrapante replica , and the  Breitling Premier Datora 42 stainless steel watch replica (ref. AB2510201K1P1)  together constitute the watch that has just been renamed the  “Premier Heritage” replica series . In this article, we focus on the latter, which once again left a deep impression on us. The Design The original  Breitling Premier replica  collection was more or less Kern’s flag in the sand when he assumed a leadership role at the brand back in 2017. Purpose-built around in-house calibres and leveraging original designs with more complex, pr...

What kind of watch does Biden wear? - Omega

Omega. Joe Biden, the 46th President of the United States, has recently, and in recent years, been wearing the Omega Seamaster watch with a steel strap, the same model as James Bond, the watch that Biden has worn most of his working life. In fact, Biden secretly wears Omega's most famous "moon watch" ---- Omega's Speedmaster in his life. Then today I'll start with an introduction to  Omega Seamaster 300M Co-Axial Master Chronometer watch replica 210.30.42.20.01.001 . The Movement In the 1990s Omega’s popularity with the Seamaster 300M in large part hard to do with the collection’s very accessible pricing. By today’s standards the Omega Seamaster 300M replica feels expensive – even though Omega has really upped the value proposition in terms of materials as well as the excellent in-house made caliber 8800 automatic movement. Starting with a Co-Axial escapement, the caliber 8800 is also (virtually) immune to the effects of environmental magnetism, features a reliabl...

Review Rolex Submariner Date 116610LV-97200 Green Watch Replica

The life cycle of Rolex watches has always been about evolution rather than revolution. Rolex know what makes timeless design has become a classic, and any changes made to specific models are subtle rather than shocking. For a brand that is inextricably linked to wealthy and luxurious ideas, Rolex has never really exaggerated. However, they still have one or two surprises again and again. At the same time, we also launched  Rolex Submariner Date 116610LV-97200 Green Watch Replica . The History The Submariner model went into production in 1953 and was showcased at the Basel Watch Fair in 1954. Throughout the next 40 years, the Submariner was updated with improved water resistance, new movements, and numerous small cosmetic changes. In 2003, Rolex celebrated the Submariner's 50th anniversary by launching the Rolex Submariner-Date anniversary edition (16610 LV), with distinguishing features such as the green bezel and Maxi dial. A 50th birthday is a big event for anyone. Some...
