The Case
The 44mm case is made of black zirconia ceramic, while the case back, crown, and chronograph pushers are made of Ceratanium® porcelain titanium, making the watch replica super hard and scratch-resistant, with a matte black color throughout.
Ceramic has been widely used throughout the watchmaking industry over the last decade, mainly for its remarkable scratch-resistant properties, but the natural black layer formed after subjecting zirconium to high temperatures is also anti-reflective. It promises the light and durable properties of titanium but also the hard, scratch-resistant qualities of ceramic. Other features that enable the watch to resist water damage and withstand extreme temperature conditions include a screw-down crown and a glass front secured against displacement by drops in air pressure.
The Dial
Underneath a convex, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal glass with layers of anti-reflective coating applied to both sides, is a black dial with matching black hands to achieve the watch’s tactical look. The jet counterbalance design on the base of the TOP GUN’s central seconds hand is finished in red. In former models like the Pilot’s Watch Chronograph TOP GUN replica and Pilot’s Watch Automatic TOP GUN replica, flashes of red have been used to underscore the “TOP GUN” lettering and the 60-seconds sub-counter hand. For the “SFTI” edition, IWC has balanced the chronograph dials at 12, 6 and 9 o’clock with a day and date feature at the third hour. Luminous central hands and Arabic numerals around the periphery of the dial have been treated with luminescence to assist with timekeeping during night flights or in low-light conditions.
