IWC Schaffhausen proudly expands its palette of ceramic colors with a striking new addition: “IWC TOP GUN Miramar”. Developed in close collaboration with PANTONE®, this distinctive hue pays tribute to the legendary Marine Corps Air Station Miramar - home to the original TOPGUN flight school and a symbol of elite aviation.
A Fresh Take on Performance and Style
The “IWC TOP GUN Miramar” color debuts in two Pilot’s Watch Chronograph 41 models, each showcasing the brand’s dedication to innovation, design, and performance:
-

This edition features a light blue ceramic case, complemented by a tone-on-tone dial and rubber strap—bringing a cool, contemporary look to the wrist. -
Pilot’s Watch Chronograph 41 (Ref. IW388117)
Here, the new color is applied to the dial and rubber strap, paired with a robust stainless steel case. It marks a milestone as the first time a PANTONE® color has been introduced in a stainless steel IWC watch.
Mastery in Colored Ceramics
Since introducing the world’s first wristwatch with a black zirconium oxide ceramic case in 1986, IWC has remained a trailblazer in ceramic watchmaking. With decades of expertise, the brand has refined the complex process of blending zirconium oxide with metallic oxides—allowing for the creation of unique and expressive ceramic colors.
“IWC TOP GUN Miramar” is the latest result of that mastery: a fresh, summery shade that reflects the spirit of aviation, precision engineering, and bold aesthetics.
