IWC Schaffhausen looks back on almost four decades of experience in manufacturing ceramic watch cases. In 2019, the brand introduced “Mojave Desert” as the first ceramic color in its “Colors of TOP GUN” collection. The color “Mojave Desert” is a discreet earth tone with notes of beige and khaki. This distinctive color is inspired by the flight suits of naval aviators and the desert landscape around China Lake, where the US Navy’s operates an air base for its most skilled pilots. The Swiss luxury watch manufacturer now adds a new “Mojave Desert” watch to its collection.

The Pilot’s Watch Automatic 41 TOP GUN Mojave Desert (Ref. IW328106) features a meticulously crafted sand-colored ceramic case with a diameter of 41 millimeters. Engineering ceramics undergo a complex manufacturing process. It begins with powdered raw materials, which are shaped into a pre-form known as “green body” and then machined closer to the final geometry. The next step involves sintering the case at high temperatures in a kiln. During this heat process, ceramic obtains properties like its extreme hardness and resistance to scratches. The distinctive “Mojave Desert” color is achieved by blending zirconium oxide with other metallic oxides in a precisely defined mixing ratio. As the color changes during the sintering process, countless trials are needed to achieve exactly the desired result.
