UK AAA Replica IWC Pilot Top Gun Double Chronograph Ceratanium
Okay, so this one isn’t entirely ceramic, but rather IWC’s proprietary material that is a mixture of ceramic and titanium (Ceratanium), combining the best traits of both. Additionally, perfect replica IWC watches have always been a pioneer in material sciences, and were among the first to use ceramic commercially. They deserve a spot in this list, and this example brings together even more of IWC’s strengths into a single package. This Pilot Top Gun is a double chronograph, a complication the brand is known for, meaning it has two timing seconds hands that can be started together and stopped independently. This is a complete package of old-school IWC tool watch goodness.
This specific example is currently available from Swiss Watch Expo, and is listed in excellent condition. There are small signs of wear here as the material will show light scratches on the surface. The AAA copy watches with ceratanium has a unique matte finish that’s not quite black, and not quite grey. It’s also lightweight in nature, which is a good thing here as it mitigates the heft of the 44mm x 16.5mm case, making it about as wearable as it can possibly be with those dimensions.
UK Top Replica IWC Pilot’s Watch Mark XX
When I first started out in my working life, I was surrounded by young trainee engineers, and one of them had an cheap super clone IWC Pilot’s Watch, specifically the Mark XV. There was something so cool about the fact that he was working in a tough metalworking shop, with sparks, swarf and other dangerous things flying around, while wearing a fine Swiss wristwatch. However, this was living the very essence of a tool watch, which is what the Mark XX is. It features a 40mm stainless steel case, with a screw-down crown and 100-metre water resistance, with long lugs that add to its burly look. The sapphire crystal is convex and with an anti-reflective coating on both sides, which, when paired with the well-lumped dial, means the high quality fake watches are highly legible in low-lighting conditions. I wish I had one when I was a trainee engineer…
