IWC first launched the TOP GUN series in 2007, named after the US Naval Fighter Weapons School. The school provides air combat and tactical training for the best naval pilots. Naval air combat forces must have excellent skills, such as when piloting a sharp bend, both the pilot and the aircraft must withstand the maximum acceleration. Sailing on an aircraft carrier for a few months is not easy for random personnel or materials. To this end, the TOP GUN series uses rugged materials such as ceramics and titanium to meet the special needs of elite fighter pilots. For example, with a fog black ceramic case, the pilot will not be distracted by the reflection of sunlight on the case during flight.

The hard, scratch-resistant ceramic material is suitable for everyday use in tight cabins and can withstand extreme G-Force. Both ceramics and titanium also have excellent corrosion resistance and can withstand humid, salty sea air. For the first time, IWC used the innovative material Ceratanium in the pilot's watch to present the new TOP GUN series, and the brand also launched the jet black-colored pilot TOP GUN Chronograph Timekeeping Ceratanium (Model IW371815).
IWC's self-developed Ceratanium materials combine the advantages of titanium and ceramics to create a new combination that has never been seen before. This patented material, like titanium metal, is light, non-fragile, and hard and scratch-resistant like ceramic. There are also quite skin-friendly, highly resistant to corrosion and fog black color. The brand was thus able to create the first watch that did not require coating and all watch components, including buttons or pin buckles, were all natural black. This chase-keeping chronograph has an integrated chase-second hand mechanism that measures short time at the same time. It is equipped with a 79230 self-winding movement and a 44-hour power reserve. The watch is equipped with a black dial, black hands, rubber strap and fabric lining. Ceratanium is the IWC IWC trademark of Schaffhausen and has been registered in various countries around the world.
