As a sequel to the classic Top Gun released in 1986, Top Gun: Maverick, released 36 years later, reprises the main character Pete "Maverick" Mitchell, played by Tom Cruise, who trains new pilots who, like his predecessor, will challenge the limits of the sky, and revisits the charm and rigors of aerial combat. In the film, Maverick wears the same Porsche Design watch he did 36 years ago, while all the trainees wear IWC's latest pilot watch, Top Gun, which has also become a hot topic. Maverick's unchanging Porsche Design watch from the original represents his timeless charm and timeless character. In contrast, the trainees wear the Pilot Watch Top Gun, which combines the latest technology with traditional watches, representing the gap and connection between generations and the evolution of the times, showing a perfect balance between the past and present, tradition and innovation. The Top Gun collection also bears the name of the U.S. Naval Fighter Weapons School (the actual "Top Gun") and has attracted attention for its designs that meet the demands of professional pilots, with durability and precision for use in extreme conditions.

This is the first limited edition wristwatch sold as a special edition for the movie in the James Bond 007 series that has been running since 1962. Considering the timeless popularity of 007, the limited number of only 7,007 pieces seems far too small. As its name suggests, the Seamaster 300 performed well underwater and was a reliable companion for 007 in his action scenes.

The Monaco is known as the world's first square waterproof watch, and also the world's first wristwatch equipped with an Automatic winding chronograph. The Monaco made its name by combining these two world-first technologies in one watch. Perhaps it was too avant-garde at the time, but it was not well received by some when it was first released. However, it appeared in the movie "Le Mans" released in 1971, and as a result, it became very popular. "Le Mans" is a work that depicts the story of the Ford GT40, which Ford developed to challenge Ferrari and seize dominance in the world of automobile racing, and its drivers.
