I really like the old Top Gun Double Chrono...

It's a high-flying year for IWC's pilot range; and there are some good looking offerings.

Really interested in seeing the new pieces but I really like the old Top Gun Double Chronograph; and it's going to be difficult to convince me away from it. A split-chrono is just the way to go in naval combat. And since legibility is so important while in the aerial combat a dial that is not too complex is important.

I like this year's offerings. Good job IWC!

Again...

By: dxboon : January 16th, 2012-09:26

...I just don't respond to IWC's novelties. Pilot's watches are supposed to be supremely legible -- presenting the information needed with clarity. Why then a 3-day date window? The press material tells us this triple date arc is supposed to bring to mind...

I unfortunately agree 100%

Too big, too self advertised and over the top..... gun. I would give a closer look at the world time pilot if it didn't have a triple date window though. This piece has some appeal for me ad would be very tempting with no date. Best,

Though im a big fan of IWC

By: Albert.J : January 16th, 2012-10:31

i was happy when i heard the news that IWC was going to come up with in-house movements, but im very disappointed with the design. since that triple date window was only for topgun, i personally think that's neither TOPGUN nor classic & spitfire. and ...

Very impressive lineup

LOVE the new Spitfires! Though my favorite of the collection is the Pilot Double-Chrono Great stuff IWC

Love the Big Pilots.....

By: JMan : January 16th, 2012-11:43

Love all the Big Pilots including the Miramar which is gives it a vintage and military look at the same time. I have loved the movement in this series too. Yes, they are big but they wear smaller than they are. Now if you only IWC can do to make them a bi...

interesting Mix

but nothing jumps out at me. however. i like the last one. i'm a Huge Fan of the Grey Dial. thanks for posting

Hit and miss for me

By: AndrewD : January 16th, 2012-14:29

Here are my initial responses to the pictures. I reserve the right to change my opinion when I handle the watches in the metal! I like the colour schemes with the grey ceramic and red highlights. The ceramic case should provide the scratch resistance that...

Having lived and worked a plane's length from Miramar

By: cazalea : January 16th, 2012-17:08

and owned a dozen IWCs, you would think I would be more excited by these Top Gun models. But I'm not, for several reasons. First, Miramar is no longer a Naval Base, it's been given to the Marines. That doesn't negate the fact that Top Gun school started t...

The steel case back...

By: mikethw : January 25th, 2012-03:21

and the Stainless steel crown and pushers sticks out like a sore thump.....its neither stealthy or elegant. I'm a big fan a IWC Perpetual Calendar, especially the big pilots.....but this one does not have the same appeal to me. I have to say....its the cr...
