SIHH 2019 - IWC Pilots Watch Automatic TOP GUN IW326901 (Specs & Price)
If you've seen the 1986 blockbuster Top Gun, you're familiar with the Naval Fighter Weapons School for elite pilots, established in Southern California in 1969. IWC has paid homage to?Top Gun since 2007 and is releasing its latest three-hand automatic in the series with a new movement and a matte black ceramic case. Launched simultaneously with the new Pilot's Watch Automatic Spitfire, the TOP GUN model also shares the Spitfire's IWC 32110 automatic calibre, although the case is 2mm larger than the 39mm Spitfire and has a more modern aesthetic.The dial is reminiscent of IWC's Big Pilot's watch series, and the black ceramic case is stealthy and contemporary. Built with pilots in mind, the matte finish prevents reflections and ceramic is more durable than steel, while the black dial with large Arabic numerals offers maximum legibility. It's fair to say that the majority of buyers will never be ejected from a fighter jet, but the Pilot's Watch Automatic TOP GUN is also at home in the driv

Buying Guide - Some Of The Coolest Orange Dive Watches in 2022
If orange dive watches have been rather popular for their funky 1970s vibe, the colour was originally selected for visibility reasons. Doxa is often said to have been among the first to use orange, which has become a signature colour for the brand. Back in the late 1960s, Doxa tested different dial colours in Lake Neuchatel and thought it was the best tone for underwater readability. If this is in fact quite wrong (orange is one of the first colours to disappear underwater, just after red, at about 20m deep), the trend has picked up, to the point of becoming a signature dive watch feature. Here are 5 cool options to get for this summer, to look stylish on land and underwater.Bell & Ross BR 03-92 Diver OrangeA dive watch in a square case feels unusual at first, specifically with the need for a rotating bezel.
