IWC Top Gun IW389001 ZF Factory Review

IWC Top Gun IW389001 model is produced by ZF Factory with a high-tech ceramic case, 44 mm diameter and 7750 automatic chronograph movement architecture. It is among the most successful 1:1 super clone watch reviews on the market, with its sapphire crystal AR coating glass, original case tolerances and detailed workmanship.

Case and Body Workmanship

Both replica watches have a black ceramic case, and the case is brushed; Whether you look at it from the front or the sides, the entire case is brushed. Both chronograph pushers are brushed and have polished round edges. The case diameter is up to 44 mm and the case feels heavy in your hand due to the ceramic material. The case back features accurate engravings on a brushed surface; The “TOP GUN” relief and other engravings are located here.

Dial and Hand Details

The IW389001 is all black, including the dial, and this is the model I prefer. IW389002 has a green dial. There is a small difference in the dial between the two watches: the IW389002 has a red circle in the middle of the dial to indicate 12 hours. The two secondary dials are located at 12 and 6 positions. The subdial with the small red hour hand is the small seconds dial; On the secondary dial at 12 o'clock, there are two small dials with a recessed design, the outer one is the 60-minute chronograph counter and the inner one is the 12-hour chronograph counter. All hour markers are white; Lume material has been applied to the markings at positions 3, 6, 9 and 12 and they emit a strong green light at night.

Compared to the green dial of IW389002, I like the black of IW389001 more. It has a harmonious appearance with white details on a black background, and this greatly increases the readability of the dial. Black also looks cooler.

Movement and Caliber Performance

As for the movement, ZF claims that it is a clone IWC 89361; It is actually modified from a Chinese chronograph movement, we call it Asia Valjoux 7750. Regardless of what is behind the closed case back, the mechanism can fully perform all the functions of the original watch. Moreover, the stability of this type of Asia Valjoux 7750 has been tested for more than 10 years, it is a reliable movement.

Strap, Buckle and Comfort

The band looks like nylon from the outside, but it's actually made of calfskin; You can see this from the back. While the outer nylon surface provides protection against rain and water splashes while washing hands, the original leather in contact with your skin offers you great comfort of use. So this type of cord serves multiple purposes. The clasp on the band is very well crafted and has a nice brushing finish.
