For a stylish timepiece, the IWC Top Gun Pilot Watch will offer a subtle, but suave look.
Despite what you think, the IWC Top Gun Pilot Watch has nothing to do with Tom Cruise's 1986 movie. Top Gun does actually exist and it's home to some of the finest pilots in the world today. This watch was designed in dedication to the school. It features a mechanical chronograph movement with split-seconds hands for intermediate timing. It also boasts a 44-hour power reserve when fully wound and it's water resistant to boot. The exterior boasts a sapphire glass, anti-reflective coating, soft-iron inner case for protection against magnetic fields and a screw-in crown. The back is decorated with the school's logo.
