IWC HIGHLIGHT
The Colors of TOP GUN: Woodland
Inspired by the uniforms worn by the elite pilots in the TOPGUN flight school, “Woodland” is a color in IWC’s ceramic portfolio.
Pilot’s Watch Chronograph TOP GUN Edition “Woodland”
The Pilot's Watch Chronograph TOP GUN Edition “Woodland” was the first IWC watch featuring a case in highly engineered, dark green ceramic.
Comprehensive ceramic legacy
As early as in the 1980s, IWC experimented with different ceramic colors. Colored ceramics are created in a sophisticated process in which zirconium oxide is mixed with other metallic oxides and sintered at high temperatures in a kiln. Because the color changes during the furnace process, it takes countless trials and a lot of experience to define the right mixture.
Monochromatic design
The Pilot's Watch Chronograph TOP GUN Edition “Woodland” impresses with a spectacular, monochromatic design. In an elaborate color engineering process, all other components - from the dial to the hands, the rubber strap with textile inlay to the luminescent material - were perfectly matched to the ceramic color.
Precise and reliable
The IWC-manufactured 69380 calibre ensures the precise measurement of stop times of up to 12 hours. The chronograph movement in a classic column-wheel design was engineered with a focus on robustness, precision, and reliability. The movements are carefully assembled by hand and extensively tested at the IWC Manufakturzentrum in Schaffhausen.
