The Case and Dial
The Swiss fake IWC UK features a 44.5-millimetre white ceramic case, a pitch-black dial, and black hands coated with luminescent material. AAA replica IWC and Pantone have specified the ceramic color as “IWC Lake Tahoe”. The pushers and crown are made of stainless steel, with a titanium caseback.
The 1:1 replica IWC TOP GUN Edition “Lake Tahoe” uses similar case dimensions as the older TOP GUN black ceramic reference IW3789-01 which was fit with a Valjoux 7750 movement. It measure 44.5 mm in diameter and 15.7 mm in height.
The Movement
The perfect fake IWC Pilots is powered by the 69380 IWC-manufactured calibre. The chronograph movement with a classic column wheel design has both a chronograph function and a display for the day and date. The pawl-winding system winds up in both directions and has a power reserve of 46 hours.
The ceramic color “Lake Tahoe” is inspired by the “Service Dress White” uniform of the US Navy, but also by the contrasting winter landscape with the snow-covered peaks around the largest freshwater lake in the Sierra Nevada. The elite pilots from the Swiss made fake IWC TOP GUN flight school often fly over this mountainous landscape. White ceramic is emblematic of Swiss movement replica IWC’s comprehensive ceramic expertise.
A soft-iron inner case shields the movement from the effects of magnetic fields. This UK cheap fake IWC TOP GUN chronograph is fitted on a white rubber strap with a distinctive embossing, whose color has been perfectly matched to the “Lake Tahoe” case.
Concluding thoughts
The white colored ceramic provides a good contrast to the more common black ceramic variant of the top fake IWC Pilots Top Gun line. While it is counter intuitive for a military themed watch to have such a striking color, the muted white tone does provide some subtlety to the otherwise extravagant color. The high quality replica IWC retails at US$10,700.
