The IWC Pilot's Watch Mark XVIII Top Gun Edition 'SFTI' commemorates the relationship the maison shares with the US Navy Strike Fighter Tactics Instructor program, also called Top Gun. In 2005, the US Navy granted IWC the licence to manufacture watches branded as Top Gun. These watches are supposed to withstand the rigours of the said nine-week program, and IWC ensured it with utter sophistication and precision.

This reference IW324712 inspires a rugged appeal with its ceramic case, whose lightweight construction ensures the 41mm size feels even more easy and comfortable on the wrist. The dial, which mirrors the timeless shade of the case, is legible and very well-balanced. Highly luminous Arabic numeral hour markers and hands, a small date window at three o'clock, and the Top Gun logo at nine populate the dial elegantly.

At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
