About This Watch

Pre-owned. Comes with orig. boxes, manual & a copy of purchase receipt from a local retailer. The warranty card is unfortunately mailed to his home in France and won't be returned.

One owner's watch with general surface wear and there are user marks on the matt black ceramic case but nothing major. IWC is the pioneer in ceramic watches & for this TopGun DoppelChrono, they used Zirconium Oxide for the case with an anti-allergy titanium screw-back cover. This is a highly complex chronograph with the split-seconds function and is often double the value of regular chronographs.

This watch was made in cooperation with the US Navy Fighter Weapons School, popularly known as TOPGUN for short. Singapore has been sending selected pilot trainees from RSAF to attend this school & a few have scored as the top cadet there.

We're selling this below market now so grab it fast as this model doesn't turn up often here. Most people are selling this from S$11~15K. The original fibre & leather backed strap has a little fraying on the edge where the buckle meets but is otherwise in good condition and with a regular 22mm lug X 18mm buckle size, you have many choices for after-market straps.

Please click here to visit our Facebook and have a look at images and a video of the actual watch.

The Ref.3799-01 is a discontinued model & last retailed for S$18000 while they were often sold for above S$13k after discount.

3% discount for cash payment & we don't charge GST.
