Catalogue Essay
- Take aim with the IWC Big Pilot's Watch Top Gun, a striking timepiece inspired by the elite aviation training program of the U.S. Navy. Featuring a substantial 46mm black ceramic case and a utilitarian dial design, this watch exudes confidence and precision. The bold black dial, framed by the large rounded case, is equipped with luminescent hands and hour markers for optimal legibility in any conditions.

- The minimalist dial focuses solely on the essentials—hours, minutes, seconds, date, and power reserve indication—resulting in a design that offers perfect clarity. Protected by an anti-reflective sapphire crystal, the dial allows for instant time reading. At the 6 o'clock position, a date window integrates seamlessly into the overall design.

- At the heart of this timepiece is IWC's cal. 51111, which boasts an impressive 7-day power reserve. This stealthy black watch embodies IWC's aviation heritage and expertise. With its confident masculine lines and advanced Swiss technology, the Big Pilot's Watch Top Gun stands as the ultimate large-sized pilot's watch.
