Workmanship evaluation of the ZF factory’s IWC Pilot Chronograph Blue Angels special edition.
The restoration of this watch by the ZF factory is still very good, and it perfectly synchronizes the military temperament of this IWC top gun. It is domineering and tough, but not very thick. The overall polished black ceramic case has a size of 44X16.5 millimeters. This size is very in line with the aesthetics of Chinese people. At the same time, in terms of weight, the ceramic case is much lighter than stainless steel and more corrosion-resistant!
The entire watch of the ZF factory’s IWC Pilot Chronograph Blue Angels special edition is much lighter than the previous two air combat forces, and it uses a blue sunburst dial for the first time. The hour dial painted with yellow lines is very similar to the instrument panel of an aircraft in flight. Paired with a military composite fiber woven strap, such a military-themed replica watch that combines beauty, toughness, and domineering is definitely the first choice for military enthusiasts. The dial design is clear and bright. The small dial at 12 o’clock is the timing hour and minute hand dial, which can measure values between 1 minute and 12 hours. The 6 o’clock position is the regular small seconds dial.
There are three buttons on the side of the watch. There are two chronograph buttons above and below the middle crown. The operation is convenient and generous. The crown is a screw-in design ceramic crown with threaded decoration. It is easy to hold. The brand logo is trustworthy. Adjusting the time does not scratch the hand. The IWC logo on the top has excellent three-dimensional effect.
The bottom cover with a brushed process on the back is engraved with the emblem of the “Blue Angels” aerobatic team. Inside is a customized Dandong IWC89361 movement. The diameter and thickness of this movement are in line with the original, and the structure is very similar to the genuine product! Reproduce the powerful functions of the original factory: 1. The small seconds hand at the 6 o’clock position is equipped with a stop device. 2. At the 12 o’clock position, the accumulated hours and accurate minutes are displayed in a reading manner. 3. The operation process is also in line with the original.
Paired with a blue composite fiber woven strap, it echoes the blue dial. The material is the same as the genuine product. It is printed with a unique strap pattern and exudes a strong military style. The titanium alloy buckle is sandblasted and has a great texture. The buckle is comfortable and convenient to wear and has more secure protection performance. The IWC font is engraved on it and is deep and powerful.
In conclusion, this time, the ZF factory has launched the IWC Pilot Blue Angels chronograph ceramic watch. The combination of black and blue shows uniqueness. At the same time, the functions such as timing and stopwatch add more style to the watch. Before this, the ZF factory has developed many chronograph watches such as the Pilot series TOP GUN naval air combat forces. This replicated model is also like a duck to water. With delicate appearance workmanship and the same size and function as the genuine product, it is a chronograph that is very worth buying and playing with.
