IWC Pilot Mark XVIII Top Gun Miramar Watch 2016

IWC Pilot Mark XVIII Top Gun Miramar Watch is not just a visually different edition, as all the materials and the dimensions aren’t identical to the normal black dial version. The latter benefits from interesting evolutions - IWC Pilot Mark XVIII Top Gun Miramar replica.

The case, with a slightly smaller diameter – is now 40mm instead of 41mm. Then, the triple date window that used to cluster the dial has been removed and changed for a more classical version, with an aperture showing only one numeral. The red triangle that used to point the date has also been removed. Therefore, we see now a contrasting dial that come very close to the ideal of the classic pilot’s watch inspired from the 1930s Junkers Ju-52 cockpit instruments, which have served as the model per se for classic pilot’s watches. The classical black dial Mark XVIII is cleaner,more toolish and certainly has one the best legibility possible.

The treatment of the dial is also rather different. Thankfully, it features the simple date (and no triple date anymore). The hands, which are still shaped like propellers (and equal to the other watches of the collection), are filled with beige luminous paint, to match with the rest of the dial. This dial not only has a different colour but also a different layout. As the rest of the IWC Pilot’s Watches, it is inspired by antique B-Uhr. However, while most show large hour indexes around the dial (known as the Flieger dial), this Top Gun Miramar edition chose the second possible layout used on B-Uhr, with large minute track on the periphery and smaller hour track inside the dial (the Observation dial), here painted in red. The rest of the indications are painted in beige and the dial comes in a military-like anthracite grey. Overall, the look is slightly vintage and much more original than the black editions.

Textured and coloured in military green strap, it looks like a fabric strap but it is actually made of embossed calf leather. The combination of this shiny black ceramic case, with the matte grey dial and the textured strap really works in the flesh – and on the wrist.  Inside the IWC Pilot’s Watch Mark XVIII Top Gun Miramar is a known and robust mechanic: the Calibre 30110 (also used in the previous Mark XVII), basically an ETA-clone movement, with 42 hours of power reserve, a date display and a hacking second mechanism.
