IWC Pilot\'s Watch Double Chronograph Edition TOP GUN (detail)

Ever wanted to join the US Navy? IWC Schaffhausen now lets you fulfill at least a part of your dream. With its IWC Pilot’s Watch Double Chronograph Edition TOP GUN just about anyone (with a wallet heavy enough to afford buying this kind of watch) can come closer to the exciting world of air to air dog-fight missions.

Just like most military-style watches, the TOP GUN also comes with black case, although this time it’s not a PVD but rather scratch-resistant ceramic combined with titanium. The same metal is used to maker the operating elements of the watch. The wrist strip is also made of some kind of black canvas. Together with white colored Arabic numerals and hands, the trim provides a higher degree of legibility.

On the screw-down titanium caseback we see the United States Navy Fighter Weapons School’s TOP GUN logo.

Measuring at 46mm, the watch will look really huge on about any hand, especially, if your name is Tom Cruise.
