IWC IW389106 Pilot’s Watch Chronograph TOP GUN Edition “Woodland” Form, Fit, and Function
Written by Jason Nofsker – Watchrolling.com

Form
Green Ceramic Mastery – The 44.5 mm case is made from a dark green zirconium oxide ceramic. It’s matte, stealthy, and rugged. The color isn’t painted on. It’s part of the material itself, blended to echo the tone of real military flight suits.
Ceratanium Accents – The pushers, crown, and caseback are made from Ceratanium. That’s a mix of titanium’s light weight and ceramic’s scratch resistance. It’s built to take hits and keep looking sharp.
Dial & Style – The tone-on-tone green dial with white numerals is clean and ultra-legible. It doesn’t scream, but it doesn’t whisper either. The sapphire glass is domed, anti-reflective, and pressure-resistant. Real pilot watch stuff.

Fit
Big but Balanced
Size vs. Comfort – This is a 44.5 mm watch that wears better than you'd expect. It’s 15.7 mm thick, so no, it's not slim. But it doesn’t feel like a brick thanks to lightweight materials and great balance.
Strap & Comfort – The green rubber strap has a textile inlay and a Ceratanium pin buckle. It sits firm on the wrist, not loose or sloppy. It grips in a good way.
Real-World Feedback – Watch fans love it for the unique color and material combo. Yes, it shows wear over time. But that’s part of the charm. It’s meant to live, not sit behind glass.

Function
Built for Flight
Calibre 69380 – Inside beats an in-house automatic chronograph. Column-wheel design, 46-hour power reserve, 4 Hz beat rate. Not just solid, but serious.
Aviation-Ready – Soft-iron inner case blocks magnetic fields. Screw-down crown. Water-resistant to 6 bar. The kind of watch that was made for actual flying, not marketing gloss.
Features You’ll Use – Chronograph with a 6-9-12 layout. Day and date display that’s useful, not decorative.
Durability – Scratch-resistant matte finish, double anti-reflective sapphire, and protected case architecture. Everything here is functional, not flashy.
