IWC IW326901 Pilot Automatic TOP GUN Ceramic Black Dial

The IWC IW326901 Pilot Automatic TOP GUN stands as a prime example of the brand’s military and aviation lineage, blending innovative materials with the utilitarian ethos of IWC’s historic pilot’s watches. Introduced in the modern era as part of the acclaimed Mark XVIII line, this reference distinguishes itself with a robust 41mm black ceramic case, providing formidable scratch resistance and non-reflective stealth appeal valued by both collectors and professional aviators. The timepiece is powered by IWC’s in-house Caliber 82710 automatic movement, ensuring reliability and enhanced protection against magnetic interference with its soft-iron inner case—a critical specification for pilots. The striking black dial, characterized by high-contrast white Arabic numerals and lume-filled hands, emphasizes quick, legible timekeeping under demanding conditions. Water resistance to 60 meters adds practical durability, while the chosen NATO fabric strap not only accentuates the watch’s military roots but also ensures versatility and comfort for everyday wear. The IW326901’s place in the TOP GUN collection signals its direct connection to IWC’s partnership with elite naval aviation programs, securing its desirability among collectors drawn to purpose-driven watches. In sum, this reference captures the functional purity, technical innovation, and iconic design that has defined IWC’s pilot series for generations. Like New with IWC box and papers dated 2019.
