IWC Pilot Top Gun IW326904 Google "Watches@" Limited Edition

How do I bid? Start here

Introduction

Launched in secret in 2023 as a special edition IWC Pilot Top Gun for “Watches@” - a private watch group made up of Google employees, the IWC Pilot Top Gun ref. IW326904 that we have here is a sleek and understated timepiece that has been designed to fly under the radar exactly like the characters in the film the watch was inspired by. While this model’s exact production quantities are unknown at the moment, this is likely the first time this watch has appeared on the open market, making it a rare beast indeed. Offered in a black ceramic case, with a matching black dial that has its date window at 3 o’clock deleted and IWC’s iconic square hour hand, the IW326904’s design is stunning However, its most telling detail is the array of blue inscriptions throughout its dial and luminous @ symbol, which is Watch@’s logo, at 6 o’clock which subtly hints at its limited edition status and obscurity within IWC’s catalog.

THE DIAL
THE DIAL

Boasting a symmetrical blacked-out dial thanks to its deleted date aperture, the IW326904 immediately reveals itself as being a special edition watch through its @ symbol at 6 o'clock and beautiful blue inscriptions throughout.

THE CASEBACK
THE CASEBACK

It's all about the details. The string of 0s and 1s engraved around the @Logo is the binary coding of the limited edition number of the watch.
