About this watch
The IWC Big Pilot 43 Top Gun (IW3298-01) stands out as a remarkable timepiece that combines robust functionality with a sleek aesthetic. Launched in 2022, this model continues the legacy of the IWC Big Pilot family, which has long been celebrated for its aviation-inspired designs. Crafted from lightweight titanium, the 43.80 mm round case features a matte black finish and ceramic bezel, giving the watch a stealthy and sophisticated vibe. The black dial is accentuated with mixed indexes and alpha hands, making it easy to read in various lighting conditions. Powered by the IWC caliber 82100, a self-winding movement that assures reliability and precision, this watch displays hours, minutes, and seconds with clarity. With a power reserve of 60 hours, you won’t have to worry about your watch stopping if you take it off for a weekend.
