Μεταφέρω τα βασικά σημεία από το σχετικό αγγλικό
Press Release της IWC σχετικά με το Top Gun και το Miramar (
το αυθεντικό κείμενο εδώ):
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pilot’s Watch Chronograph TOP GUN (Ref. 388001)It is equipped with the
in-house 89365 calibre, which boosts the watch’s power reserve from 44 to
68 hours compared with its predecessor. A soft-iron inner case protects the precision mechanism against magnetic fields.
The dial is in the classical cockpit design, all the way down to the date display, which resembles an altimeter.
Luminescent white hands and indices guarantee outstanding legibility. The central chronograph hand, whose signal red counterpoise brings to mind the silhouette of a jet, shows recorded times in seconds, while the small white hand in the subdial at “12 o’clock” shows the number of elapsed minutes. Thanks to the integrated
flyback function, simply pushing the reset button causes the stopwatch hand to return to zero and instantly starts recording a new time. The small red
hacking seconds rotating at “6 o’clock” indicates that the watch is running normally.
The
ceramic case, enlarged to
46mm, is water-resistant to
6 bar and
light. The push-buttons and crown are made of
titanium. With an
antireflective coating on both sides, the
convex sapphire glass (
grade 9 on Mohs’ hardness scale) is highly scratch-resistant and
secured against sudden drops in pressure in the cockpit.

Pilot’s Watch Chronograph TOP GUN Miramar (Ref. 388002)The
Top Gun engraving on the titanium case back is a tribute to a select elite and an indication that this is the technological highlight of IWC’s Pilot’s Watch family. The
ceramic case owes its shimmering
metallic grey, which is paired with a
dial in matte anthracite, to the elaborately finished surfacing. The
hands and chapter ring in beige, together with the
rugged green textile strap, reinforce the desired look.
One unusual feature is the
separate depiction of the minutes on the external ring and the hours on a smaller inner ring. This is derived from an original feature of deck watches in the 1930s and 1940s, when the precise time in minutes and seconds was essential for determining the aircraft’s position. The
flyback is another function that dates from that era of aviation.
