IWC has expanded its Colors of TOP GUN ceramic collection with the new Pilot's Watch Timezoner Top Gun Woodland watch in a forest green hue. The patented Timezoner dual time zone complication allows the wearer to easily alternate between different time zones by simply pressing down and turning the rotating bezel until the desired time zone reaches the 12 o'clock position.
The new watch features a 46mm green ceramic case and bezel. IWC has used the same green tone for the dial, hands, and rubber strap to achieve a stealthy monochromatic look. Even the lume color coordinates. The dial has a trio of hands at the center, a 24-hour display under 12, and a date window at 3 o'clock. The disks of both apertures are color-matched.
The case ring and crown are fashioned from matte black Ceratanium, a proprietary material that combines the lightness and toughness of titanium with the hardness and scratch resistance of ceramic. The green rubber strap with textile inlay is additionally fitted with a Ceratanium pin buckle.
Like the front, the back of the watch is furnished with a sapphire crystal, which gives us a view of the IWC-manufactured Caliber 82760 automatic movement. Operating at 28,800 vph (4 Hz), the movement includes a Pellaton winding system reinforced with ceramic components, supplying the watch with 60 hours of power reserve.
IWC's relationship with TOPGUN, officially known as the United States Navy Strike Fighter Tactics Instructor program, began in 2007. With its military green colorway and travel-friendly complication, this new Woodland Timezoner model is a worthy addition to the IWC Top Gun fleet. It is priced at $17,400 USD and is available through selected IWC boutiques.
Summary:
The new IWC Pilot's Watch Timezoner Top Gun Woodland is a 46mm green ceramic watch with a dual time zone complication. It is inspired by the flight suits and uniforms worn by pilots in the TOPGUN flight school, as well as the vast forest landscapes they fly over. The watch is powered by the IWC-manufactured Caliber 82760 automatic movement and has a 60-hour power reserve. It is priced at $17,400 USD and is available through selected IWC boutiques.
