IWC Big Pilot Mojave Desert Top Gun Edition Brown Dial Beige Rubber Strap Watch 46mm - IW506003

With the Big Pilot's Watch Top Gun Edition “Mojave Desert”, IWC continues the series of TOP GUN models with cases made of sand-colored ceramic. TOP GUN watches are technically sophisticated precision instruments, engineered to perform at their best on the wrists of the US Navy’s most skilled pilots. Hard and scratch-resistant ceramic, in particular, is perfect for daily use in the cramped jet cockpit. With the Big Pilot’s Watch Top Gun Edition “Mojave Desert”, IWC presents the Big Pilot's Watch in a sand-colored ceramic case for the first time. The striking color is inspired by Navy pilots' flight suits and the desert landscape around the Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake. The engineering ceramics used here are created in a sophisticated manufacturing process from powdered raw materials that are shaped and then sintered at high temperatures. To create the unique color tone, zirconium oxide is blended with other metallic oxides in a precisely defined mixing ratio. The dark brown subdued dial and the sand-colored rubber strap with textile inlay harmonize perfectly with the case. Delivering precision and endurance is the IWC-manufactured 52110 caliber. The automatic Pellaton winding system has been reinforced with ceramic components and builds up a power reserve of seven days in two barrels – more than enough even on extended missions.
