IWC SPLIT-SECONDS CHRONOGRAPH FOR CARLSON, REF. 3799
IWC made 50 pieces of this special edition split-second chronograph (or “doppelchronograph”) for the Carlson boutique in Hong Kong and this specific watch is number 46 of 50. This watch features a beautiful navy blue dial in a black ceramic case. It does not have the “Top Gun” logos on the case unlike other Top Gun edition watches from IWC. Split-second chronograph movements are extremely difficult to manufacture and this is a rare and highly-collectible watch from IWC.
