Black Warrior Evolved: A Detailed Look at the M+ V2 IWC Mark XVIII TOP GUN Ceramic Replica
For many watch enthusiasts, the IWC Mark series—especially the TOP GUN edition—holds an unshakable place in the pantheon of pilot watches. With the release of the M+ V2 edition, this iconic timepiece receives not only a faithful homage, but also a bold push toward craftsmanship perfection and detail-oriented engineering.
The most striking feature is the matte black ceramic case, constructed from high-tech vaporized zirconium oxide ceramic, identical to that used in the original. Hard as steel and light as a feather, it delivers a warm yet resolute texture. Unlike standard metal cases, ceramic is notoriously difficult to machine, and the complex lines and curves of the Mark XVIII case push this difficulty even further.
In this regard, the M+ V2 version makes a remarkable leap forward: the smooth transitions between its lines and curves, along with the uniformly fine matte finish, rival that of the original. Such precision is impossible with traditional hand-finishing. Only advanced CNC automated polishing technology can achieve this level of uniformity and refinement.
Beneath the caseback lies another surprise: the watch is equipped with a customized Seagull 2892 movement, fully matching the structure and specifications of the Swiss ETA 2892-A2. Each movement undergoes strict calibration and testing to ensure reliable accuracy. Most notably, it faithfully replicates the hacking seconds function, which stops the second hand when adjusting the time—a feature that movements like the Miyota 9015 or ETA 2824 cannot truly replicate.
The date window also stands out. Red numeral printing is raised with a crisp, vivid color that is perfectly centered and aligned. M+ went the extra mile by replicating even the subtlest typographical nuances—such as the often-overlooked difference between the numeral “1” and the lowercase letter “l.” These details, easily missed in most replicas, are meticulously corrected here.
To further enhance authenticity and collectability, each watch comes with a unique serial number, ensuring individual traceability and distinction.
This is not just a “replica”—it’s a refined, idealized reconstruction, respecting the original while embracing modern precision to push boundaries even further.
Compared with other offerings on the market, the M+ V2 version stands at the forefront of premium replicas. From its aesthetics and materials to its mechanical heart, it redefines what a true top-tier homage can be.
If you’re not just looking for a watch, but a celebration of mechanical art and craftsmanship, the M+ V2 IWC Mark XVIII TOP GUN is truly worth your attention.
