IWC Schaffhausen Pilot’s Watch Mark XVIII Edition 'Tribute to Mark XI'

This special edition pays homage to IWC's legendary Mark XI pilot's watch from 1948, hence the limited run of exactly 1,948 pieces worldwide. The 40mm stainless steel case houses the reliable Calibre 35111 automatic movement with 42 hours of power reserve, protected by a soft iron cage against magnetic fields—a crucial feature for aviators. The black dial features cream-colored luminous markers that give it a vintage military aesthetic, while the sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating ensures perfect readability. The green textile NATO strap adds a touch of military heritage and makes changing straps a breeze. With its fixed brushed bezel, screw-down crown, and clean three-hand layout plus date display, this tribute model captures the essence of tool watch design without unnecessary complications. It's a modern interpretation of a pilot's watch icon that works just as well in the cockpit as it does in the office—see what I did there? Perfect for collectors who appreciate aviation history and those seeking an understated daily wearer with serious heritage credentials. Our offering is in very good condition and comes in set of it's original box, but somewhat regrettably - no papers. Ticking per specs. Please note that the production year is approximate. Covered by our limited warranty of 1 year, starting on the date of purchase.
