Personal Note--
Pre-owned/Ex-condition., Comes with Box set & Papers, as seen in
photos... IWC Big Pilot's "Top Gun Miramar " IW5019-02 in polished
Ceramic solid two-body round shaped case… IWC has always been pushing
things forward and trying new ideas…. The TOP GUN Miramar series is a
tribute to the birthplace of the Top Gun legend, the pilots’ school of
the US Marines in Miramar, California.. The Pilot’s Watch “Top Gun
Miramar” is a very hip watch design. It has a strong striking appeal.
The color scheme of iridescent grey, brown tone, red and cream are
matched to perfection. The dial configuration takes after the pilot’s
watches from WWII, with the minute track laid out where the hours
normally are and a beautiful red “sector” style inner track that
displays hours. Placement of the power reserve and date are Big Pilot
signature. The case features a ceramic finish, and a ceramic black PVD
bezel, it’s actually more of an anthracite color. It’s a really nice
combination of metals. A sapphire scratch-resistant crystal with
anti-reflective coatings on both surfaces that is secured against any
displacement by a drop in air pressure. A soft iron inner case secures
the mechanism against magnetic fields. “The combination of materials
make the relatively light for its size, extremely durable &
skin-friendly”...
