IWC Pilot's Chronograph Oceana - the brand's coolest 2023 release?

The IWC Ingenieur stole the show at this year's Watches & Wonders, and while that may seem as a detriment to the remainder of IWC's releases, watch nerds should rejoice. This means that pieces like the ceramic-cased Pilot's Watch Chronograph 41 Top Gun models won't be as wildly popular - a blessing in disguise for many collectors. While we already picked out the rose gold-cased Pilot's Chrono as a bit of a sleeper, the IWC Pilot's Watch Chronograph 41 Top Gun Oceana and its blue ceramic case are even more deserving of the sleeper title in my eyes. Not only is it not as flashy as the rose gold model, courtesy of the powdery blue tones that grace the entire watch, but it also has the unique intrigue of a blue ceramic case, something we don't see all too often.
