Since
1868 Swiss watch manufacturer IWC Schaffhausen has been creating
masterpieces of haute horlogerie that combine precision engineering with
exclusive design. Over the years, their straightforward, no-nonsense
style has appealed to adventurers far and wide—especially pilots.
IWC considers the Mark XX a successor of sorts to the much-loved Mark 11 pilot’s watch.
It’s
clean streamlined design and refreshing simplicity will make it an
essential addition to your collection, whether you’re looking for a
contemporary take on the pilot’s watch or simply a highly accurate
minimalist masterpiece.
Bright
white indexes and printed Arabic numerals are prominent against the
handsome green dial for maximum legibility, even in low light. You’ll
find that rhodium-plated luminous hands contribute to this ease of use
as well. There is a date window conveniently located at 3 o’clock.
As
a self-winding automatic timepiece, IWC's manufacture 32111 caliber is
the star of the show. It beats at 28,800 vph, possesses 21 jewels, and
gives you a fantastic 120-hour power reserve. Côtes de Genève decoration
is a thoughtful touch, as is the central hacking seconds feature, which
conveniently stops the seconds hand when you open the screw-down
winding crown.
The
stainless steel case measures a comfortable 40 mm in diameter, a slim
10.8 mm in height, and rests upon a stainless steel bracelet with a
folding buckle. Look for an airplane decoration upon the closed caseback
as well as 100 m / 10 atm of water resistance and a scratch-resistant
sapphire crystal.
Robust, yet possessing poise and restraint, we are pleased to offer the IWC Pilot's Watch Mark XX here at attractive price.
