Catalogue Essay
- The IWC Pilot’s Watch Double Chronograph Top Gun Ceratanium is a spectacular demonstration of IWC’s mastery of pilot’s watches. Housed in a 44mm Ceratanium case, the ref. IW371815 combines a highly technical complication with materials designed to endure the most extreme conditions.
- At the heart of this timepiece resides IWC’s cal. 79420 movement, featuring a split-seconds chronograph function that allows for the simultaneous measurement of two separate time intervals.
- The handsome matte black dial features distinctly aviation-inspired oversized numerals and hands coated in white Super-LumiNova for low light legibility. Two chronograph seconds hands, one in red, enable the measurement and display of elapsed times, with elapsed minutes and hours recorded on subdials at 12 and 6 o’clock. A day and date window is situated at 3 o’clock.
- Crafted from proprietary Ceratanium, an exceptional titanium alloy enriched with ceramic, the case combines extreme hardness and scratch resistance with lightweight comfort. The screw-down crown and chronograph pushers provide 60 meters of water resistance. Secured to the wrist on a black rubber strap, this ref. IW371815 is ideally suited for even the most demanding conditions.
- A technical tour de force clothed in virtually indestructible yet comfortably lightweight materials, the present example in barely worn condition would make an outstanding addition for the collector interested in highly complicated watches with a focus on engineering excellence. Representing the pinnacle of IWC's pilot watch design and production, this timepiece is ready for any mission.
