Starting with the Top Gun series there will be at least five new models. Two Miramar and two non-Miramar versions of essentially the same watches and well as a Top Gun version of the Pilot Perpetual Calendar watch in a cool black ceramic case. The Miramar versions (IWC Big Pilot Top Gun Miramar and Big Pilot Chronograph Top Gun Miramar) will come in that nice gray ceramic case with aged looking dial, while the standard versions (same names without the "Miramar part") will have black ceramic cases and a more contemporary feel. Each will come in a 46mm wide case and contain either IWC's new 7 day chronograph or three-hand 7 day automatic movements. The Perpetual Calendar is larger at 48mm wide and will contain that outgoing movement as seen on other IWC watches in the past. Nice looking pieces all around.
Next are new IWC Spitfire collection Pilot watches. These have been part of the range for along time and being updated in terms of complexity and size. They also now sport some cool in-house movements whereas the Spitfire was often seen as a nice entry-level IWC Pilot watch. The new new Spitfire models are the Spitfire Chronograph at 43mm wide with an in-house chronograph movement and the very interesting new Spitfire Perpetual Digital Date-Month Calendar. That one is likely the most interesting of the new Pilot watches as the in-house movement has a nicely integrated perpetual calendar and chronograph that are nicely managed on the same dial. There are large big digital indicators (well labeled) for the date and month registers.
