IWC Big Pilot's Watch TOP GUN Perpetual Calendar Watch Woodland. The 46.5 mm green ceramic case watch is the first watch in the history of IWC to be paired with a ceramic bracelet of the same color. The perpetual calendar automatically recognizes the different month lengths and adds a leap day at the end of February every four years. IWC's self-made 52616 movement uses the Pellaton automatic winding system (Pellaton) composed of ceramic components. The two barrels can guarantee a power reserve of 7 days.
IWC will launch the "TOP GUN Color" series of pilot watches in 2022, using new colored ceramics such as Woodland and Lake Tahoe. These rich colors are inspired by tones from the world of naval aviation and were developed in partnership with PANTONE®. This year, IWC has added a perpetual calendar to the series.

When IWC fires this colored ceramic, it mixes zirconium oxide with other metal oxides and sinters it in an oven at a temperature of more than 1,000 degrees Celsius.
At the same time, the case lining and crown of this watch are made of Ceratanium®, a material independently developed by IWC. It has the structural integrity of titanium and the ceramic material. High hardness and scratch resistance.
The “H”-shaped link bracelet in the new series of watches is carefully crafted from 38 ceramic parts. During the manufacturing process, raw materials are pressed into molds to form green bodies, which are then machined into the final geometry of each part. During the sintering process, each part shrinks by about one-third, so the shrinkage volume must be taken into account in the design stage to ensure that the movement and the case will fit tightly and meet polar tolerances. After sintering is complete, each component is sandblasted before assembly of the bracelet can begin.
