That is even nicer...
If I didn't already have the 3786, I'd be all over it too...
I thought we had enough Top Gun Watches but nooooooo.... 😉
Here comes the Top Gun 'SFTI' Edition (LE): l From IWC : The first of an upcoming series of IWC Top Gun watches based on our US Navy exclusive professional watches. The civilian version of the SFTI features all of our latest pilot’s tech: In-house 69 cal...

My "own" Analysis
Case & Dial I love ceramic watches, so, it is a huge plus for me that this watch case is in full ceramic. Seems like the chronograph pushers are also in ceramic. Additionally, the case back is made of some “new” IWC material which is a combination of tita...
Welcome, don’t want to let the IWC forum boss down 😀. I try, “try,” not
To have more than 10 people on a forum dislike me, hopefully that is working but I can’t confirm, 🤣🤣🤣🤣.
I think the black strap on last year’s dopple
Suits this black watch better. My favorite feature in this watch is the ceratanium and red accents on the pushers
Red plane counterbalance back again!!!
I’d been watching theses evolve over the years, really liked jetplane counterbalance second hand but found the altimeter style 3 days visible not easy along with 46mm being too big. The 389101 released in 2019 was very classic in design but ceramic. Liked...
Yes...
"In 2018, IWC launched the Pilot’s Watch Chronograph Edition “Strike Fighter Tactics Instructor”, which is exclusively available to graduates of the Navy Fighter Weapons School (TOPGUN). With the Pilot’s Watch Chronograph Top Gun Edition “SFTI”, the Manuf...
So much for Ceratanium...
Really IWC? We get all of this for a mere $9100? "Thanks to the combination of a black ceramic case with a Ceratanium® case back and pushers , the sporty chronograph boasts a tactical, matte black design code."
So only the case back is ceratanium? While the case is their black ceramic?
Their doppel chrono is another 5k usd but has ceratanium case and of course a more complicated movement
I really like the dopple all black look with the red accent on the pushers
But totally agree; not in love with the price
It ain’t cheap
I agree but probably the cheapest split in the world with some cool new Ceratanium material. Plus I graduated Top Gun back in 2007 so had no chance at the 2018 SFTI for grads. This one works for me. ...

That’s really cool Jeff; that you graduated Top Gun; this is perfect watch for you
I really like the all blacks/smoke grey color scheme also reminds me of big pilot carbon
I like it.
I could do without the jet second counterbalance or the red pusher accents, but I like the single date aperture and the use of ceramic and ceratanium. I’d like to see more water resistance for a sports watch. The diameter appears too large for the movemen...
I like these, but hate the TG reference, chuckle..
I know... but the TG name and reference ruins it for me. Obviously, I am not a bean counter at IWC... But these watches in general have lost their 'composition'. The case is too big for the movement, as evidenced by the day/date being 'too small' in propo...
Couldn’t agree more!
That’s what stopped me. 40-42mm meant I would have had this or the TG Ceratanium DoppleChrono
