IWC Schaffhausen is launching a special version of the Pilot’s Watch Mark XVIII featuring the original design of the historic Pilot’s Watch Mark XI.
The Pilot’s Watch Mark XI with a black dial and luminescent white Arabic numerals was produced in Schaffhausen from 1948 until the early 1980s. It was primarily supplied to the Royal Air Force but was also used by other Commonwealth armed forces.
The new Pilot’s Watch Mark XVIII Edition "Tribute to Mark XI" differs from the Mark XVIII from the current collection for details like the thinner indices or the triangular index at 12 o’clock not flanked by two dots.
Other details - like the the small rectangles at 3, 6, 9 and 12 o’clock or the hands coated with luminescent material - are taken from the historic Mark XI.
In reference to the year in which the first Mark XI was first introduced, this special edition is limited to 1,948 watches.
Like the original from 1948, this functional sports watch is secured to the wrist by a green textile strap, also known as a Nato strap.
Water resistant to 60 metres / 200 feet, the stainless steel case is 40 mm in diameter and 10.8 mm in height. A softiron cage protects the automatic Calibre 35111 from magnetic fields and the sapphire glass is secured against sudden drops in pressure in the cockpit. The 4 Hz (28,800 vph) movement has a power reserve of 42 hours.
