IWC Pilot’s Watch Chronograph 41 TOP GUN Mojave Desert
A bold tribute to aviation and elite performance. This 41 mm chronograph features a sand-colored ceramic case, developed in partnership with Pantone®, inspired by U.S. Navy flight suits and the arid terrain of China Lake — home to the iconic TOPGUN school.
The brown dial, beige rubber strap with textile inlay, and titanium crown and pushers complete the rugged, utilitarian aesthetic. Powered by the IWC-manufactured Calibre 69380, this column-wheel chronograph delivers precision and reliability, with vertically aligned counters for intuitive legibility.A soft-iron inner case protects the movement from magnetic fields, while the sapphire glass is engineered to remain secure even under sudden pressure drops. Finished with the engraved “TOP GUN” caseback — it’s a mission-ready tool with unmistakable style.
Patek Philippe revisits the sporty style of the Aquanaut chronograph in a rose gold version, paired with a sunburst brown dial featuring a black-gradient rim and matching composite strap.
The original design of the case (water-resistant to 30 m) and the bezel is highlighted by the alternating polished and satin-brushed finishes.
The self-winding flyback chronograph movement combines tradition (column wheel drive) with innovation (vertical disk clutch). Since the clutch causes almost no wear, the central chronograph seconds hand can also be used to display the seconds continuously.
The TORIC Chronographe Rattrapante heart is crafted in 18ct rose gold. This integrated movement is a “racing machine” which beats at a high frequency (5Hz) and incorporates a double column wheel. Its structural elements are skeletonized and suggest an arabesque, leaving ample room for visual appreciation of its moving components.
