IWC's pilot collection stands as the Swiss-German brand's most popular line alongside the Portugieser. The wide variety of complications, diameters and materials make this flight-oriented collection suitable to any sporty need.
The present flyback chronograph ref. 3880 was developed with the Top Gun pilots in mind, representing the prestigious elite of the profession. The purposeful aesthetics and robustness are blended together with the use of anti-reflective black zirconium oxide ceramic for the highly scratch-resistant case, while the back is crafted from a solid block of light titanium and bears the notorious Top Gun emblem. The caliber 89365 allows for the 44 mm chronograph to display the date of the month and most importantly features a flyback function, allowing consecutive timings without the need to manually reset the chronograph.
A classic IWC timepiece, this 2012 Top Gun flyback chronograph showcases advanced manufacturing processes and illustrates IWC's pioneering spirit regarding ceramic, a material they have been among the first to use to craft watch cases.
