The Reference

Examined to the movement.

The IWC Pilot's Watch Double Chronograph TOP GUN Ceratanium reference IW371815 represents one of the most technically ambitious aviator chronographs in the Schaffhausen manufacture's modern catalog. The Pilot's Watch Double Chronograph line traces its lineage to the Mark XV Doppelchronograph introduced in the mid-1990s, and this Ceratanium-cased iteration carries that split-seconds tradition into IWC's TOP GUN partnership with the U.S. Navy's Strike Fighter Tactics Instructor program. The defining feature is the rattrapante chronograph, allowing two intermediate times to be measured simultaneously via a dedicated pusher at the nine o'clock position. The 44mm Ceratanium case, an IWC-proprietary alloy combining titanium's lightness with ceramic's scratch resistance, is paired with a matte black dial featuring oversized luminescent Arabic numerals, a triangular index at twelve flanked by lume dots, and a peripheral chronograph track. Powered by the IWC Caliber 79420, a self-winding split-seconds chronograph built on a Valjoux 7750 architecture with the brand's proprietary rattrapante module, 29 jewels and a 44-hour power reserve at 28,800 vibrations per hour. Day and date appear at the three o'clock position. Water resistant to 60 meters, the watch is fitted with a textile-style nylon strap on IWC's EasX-CHANGE quick-change system. Pre-owned condition.

I can't tell you how happy I am with Michael and the team at Palazzo Watches. I've been looking for a specific, very rare AP for a long time. Michael found one and worked with me every step of the way to get it into my hands. He was incredibly professional and accommodated every request and need I had. 10/10, will definitely be back for more.

Fantastic experience from start to finish! Offer honest opinions and recommendations because they truly want you to find the right watch, not just make a sale. The office has an amazing view! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a watch and a first-class experience.

I found my go to place to purchase luxury watches!! Mak and Michael were very professional, transparent, helpful, genuine and kind to me. They made the process of buying my first Rolex very easy. All their watches are authenticated with paperwork and box provided. Mak and Michael were very knowledgeable about each watch and answered all my questions to the fullest extent. I would 100% recommend anybody who is looking for their first or next piece in their collection to come here and purchase a watch.
