IWC Ceratanium Bracelet

Introduced in 2017, IWC’s Ceratanium is a pioneering material that combines the lightweight properties of titanium with the hardness and scratch resistance of ceramic. The development of Ceratanium® represents IWC’s innovative approach to watchmaking materials, resulting in a durable, matte black finish that is both robust and aesthetically striking. This material first appeared in the Aquatimer collection and has since been featured prominently in IWC’s Pilot’s Watch series, including the all-black Pilot’s Watch Chronograph TOP GUN Ceratanium.

The process of creating Ceratanium involves smelting a special titanium alloy and then firing the components at high temperatures, leading to a phase transition that imparts ceramic-like properties to the material. This results in a watch that is not only lightweight and comfortable to wear but also highly resistant to scratches and corrosion
