The M+ Factory Mark Series V3 upgraded version faithfully replicates every detail of the original reference. Fine adjustments have been made to the anti‑reflective blue coating on the sapphire crystal. The case uses high‑tech zirconia ceramic imported from Japan, treated with titanium sand blasting followed by high‑temperature processing. It has passed a 2‑meter drop test, with the case remaining intact without cracking. Only one case‑crack repair request has been received, which further validates its durability. It comes with a trendy new strap made of fluororubber covered with imported canvas fabric. The strap delivers the comfort of a leather strap while resisting sweat and seawater corrosion. It fits all Mark XVIII variants. If you own a steel Mark series watch, you can also install this strap.

If you love ceramic watches but find the retail price out of reach, this IWC is an excellent option. This base model IWC TOP GUN Naval Air Combat Forces watch boasts a timeless design. It features a 41mm ceramic case and a closed case back engraved with the striking TOP GUN graphic. The black dial is fitted with luminous Arabic numeral hour markers and a date window at the 3 o’clock position. The red “TOP GUN” lettering sits at 6 o’clock. It uses a Seagull 2892 movement as an alternative to the original 32110 movement.

M+ Factory has also reproduced all derivative variants of this Mark watch, including the Laureus blue ceramic edition, Royal Australian Air Force special edition and Top Gun Ace Pilot edition. You can pick the dial style you prefer. This factory competes with V7 Factory through differentiated positioning. Apart from case materials, their movements and other core features are highly similar. Here is a buying guide: choose V7 Factory if you prefer steel cases, and opt for M+ Factory for distinctive ceramic craftsmanship. The blue ceramic variant is available with our retailers, and real-life detail photos can be viewed in our store.
