Pilot’s Watch Timezoner Top Gun Ceratanium

In Context

At 46 mm it is a large watch — well above this catalogue’s 40 mm median, and enough to dominate a narrow wrist. At 15 mm it is a tall case, and it will catch on a cuff. The case back is open, so the movement is visible without taking the watch apart, and the sapphire crystal will resist everything short of deliberate abuse. 60 m covers rain and hand-washing comfortably; it is not a watch to swim in.

The movement winds itself from the motion of your wrist. 60 hours of reserve is enough to set it down on Friday evening and find it still running on Monday. At 28,800 vph the seconds hand advances 8 times a second.

IW3955-05 is one of 3 executions of the IW3955 base reference. Underneath they are the same watch; what separates this one is a black dial and a ceratanium case. It was a limited edition. Introduced in 2021.
