One of the first brands to create an antimagnetic pilot's watch in the early 1930s, IWC has been inextricably tied to the world of aviation ever since. Its most recent unveiling is a series of three new Pilot's Watch Chronographs in black ceramic. They are inspired by the brand's military program, where it creates watches for select US Navy squadrons. Each watch features the particular squadron's (Royal Maces, Tophatters or Blue Angels®) colorful patch at 6 o'clock on the dial. Powered by IWC's in-house caliber 69380 with column-wheel chronograph movement, this Royal Maces Edition features a 44.5mm black ceramic case and proprietary Ceratanium crown and pushers. It boasts a soft-iron inner case for antimagnetic purposes.
