ABOUT THE WATCH
Pilot’s Watch Double Chronograph TOP GUN Ceratanium®
Ceratanium® was developed by IWC and combines the advantages of titanium and ceramic in a single material. Based on a titanium alloy, the patented material is as light and rigid as titanium but at the same time similarly hard and scratch-resistant as ceramic. Other compelling features are its skin-friendliness, high corrosion-resistance and striking matte black colour. All the case components, including the push-buttons and pin buckle, are made of Ceratanium®, which means the entire watch has a striking “jet black” design code. The Double Chronograph features an integrated split-seconds function that enables the watch to time two separate actions simultaneously. Its power is supplied by the 79420-calibre movement with automatic winding and a 44-hour power reserve. The watch has a black dial and hands. It is worn on a black rubber strap with a textile inlay.
Double Rattrapante Chronograph | IWC Schaffhausen
A split-seconds hand or rattrapante is an additional seconds hand on mechanical chronographs. The split-seconds hand, which runs underneath the stopwatch hand, can be stopped independently using a push-button at “10 o’clock”, while the stopwatch hand continues to run. This allows the user to record two separate times, precisely to the second, within any given minute. If the third push-button is pushed again, the split-seconds hand instantaneously catches up and is synchronized with the stopwatch hand. It is then possible to record a new intermediate time.
