Review IWC Pilot TOP GUN Chronograph Watch "Oceana" Special Edition

 The new IWC Pilot TOP GUN chronograph watch "Oceana" special edition uses a blue ceramic case developed in cooperation with Pantone. Over the years, IWC has had in-depth cooperation with well-known squadrons of the air forces of many countries, creating special watches for them. In the exchanges with pilots, IWC has also obtained a lot of design inspiration. The blue-toned design of the new watch is inspired by Since the navy uniform.

In fact, the production of colored ceramics is quite difficult, so we can see that almost all mainstream watch brands produce ceramic watches, but generally they are mainly black and white, and rarely have colored ceramics. IWC's colored ceramic firing process requires first selecting a reference color from the Pantone color system, then mixing powdered zirconia with other metal oxides, shaping it, and sending it to a furnace for high-temperature firing for the final shape. For colored ceramics, one thing that should always be paid attention to is the color uniformity of the ceramic shell. From the actual effect in the picture above, you can see that this is not a problem for Wanguo, a master of materials. The blue tone is not only rich, but also uniform and pure.

Titanium, another of the brand’s specialty materials, is also used in the watch’s chronograph buttons and crown. Thanks to the case structure of the 41mm flying watch, the current waterproof performance of this size watch has been improved from the original 60 meters to 100 meters. The dial continues the typical cockpit instrument style design of the pilot series, with clarity and ease of readability as the primary criterion. Although the size of 41 mm has been reduced, the disk surface has also been reduced, but after IWC has re-adjusted the proportion of the entire watch, the three vertical sub-disks, plus the day and calendar display window, will not appear cluttered.

In terms of movement, the watch is equipped with IWC's self-produced 69380 chronograph movement. The movement adopts a column wheel design and is equipped with a soft iron inner case to effectively protect the movement from the influence of magnetic fields. When fully wound, it can provide a 46-hour power reserve. .
