The IWC Pilot TOP GUN Mojave Desert Men's Watch IW328106 features a tone-on-tone design. The brown dial complements the ceramic case, and the minute track and subdued numerals are coated with Super-LumiNova® for legibility even in low-light conditions. The light brown rubber strap with a fabric lining and a titanium prong buckle complete the harmonious tone-on-tone design. The caseback is also crafted from lightweight and sturdy titanium and is engraved with the iconic "TOP GUN" logo.
The 41mm sand-colored ceramic case. The manufacturing process for this material is complex. The powdered raw material is first formed into a preformed "green blank," then machined into a geometry similar to that of the finished watch case. The ceramic is then sintered at high temperatures in a kiln. The heat imparts exceptional hardness and scratch resistance to the ceramic. The unique color of "Mojave Desert" ceramic requires a precise blend of zirconium oxide and other metal oxides. Because the color shifts during high-temperature sintering, achieving the desired effect requires countless attempts.
The IWC Manufacture Caliber 32112 features a balance wheel oscillating at a frequency of 4 Hz, ensuring precise timekeeping. The movement is equipped with an automatic pawl-winding system that utilizes the bidirectional motion of the oscillating weight and provides a 120-hour power reserve.
