During tortuous maneuvers involving supersonic jets like the F/A-18, pilots are subjected to high g forces. But also extended missions on aircraft carriers, where they are exposed to the humid, salt-bearing sea air, put an enormous strain on both personnel and material. From IWC, the TOP GUN Chronograph was developed using robust and corrosion-resistant materials such as ceramic and titanium for the elite among the US Navy's jet pilots. For the first time ever, IWC has equipped this classic with an in-house movement from the 69000-calibre family. Apart from its stopwatch function, the IWC-manufactured 69380 calibre also has displays for the day and date. The red small seconds hand at &quot;6 o'clock&quot; provides a striking colorful highlight on the black dial. The case is made of-non-reflective black zirconium oxide ceramic, the back of the case from titanium. The watch is attached to the wrist with a black textile strap.<br /><br /><strong>Case:</strong><li>Ceramic case</li><li>Diameter 44.5 mm</li><li>Height 15.7 mm</li><li>Screw in crown</li><li>Water resistance 6 bar</li><br /><strong>Movement:</strong><li>69380 Calibre</li><li>IWC-manufactured movement</li><li>Automatic, self-winding</li><li>46 hours Power Reserve</li><li>Frequency 28800.0 vph (4.0 hz)</li><li>231 Components</li><li>33 Jewels</li><li>Côtes de Genève and Perlage</li><br /><strong>Features:</strong><li>Chronograph function with hours, minutes and seconds</li><li>Soft-iron inner case for protection against magnetic fields</li><li>Day and Date display</li><li>Glass secured against displacement by drop in air pressure</li><li>Sapphire glass, convex, antireflective coating on both sides</li><li>Small hacking seconds</li><br />IWC Style #: IW389101
