Pilot’s Watch Mark XVIII Edition “Tribute to Mark XI”

The Pilot’s Watch Mark 11, with 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. In 1994, the Mark XII started the enduring tradition of Mark Pilot’s Watches, which have long since been among the most popular watches manufactured by IWC Schaffhausen.

The Pilot’s Watch Mark XVIII Edition “Tribute to Mark XI” (Ref. IW327007) incorporates aspects of the design of the historic Mark 11 such as the yellow “Balkenkreuz” insignia and baton hands. The thick index at  3, 6, 9 and 12 o’clock  and the hands are coated with luminescent material. The model differs from the Mark XVIII from the current collection in that the indices are thinner and the triangular index at “12 o’clock” is not flanked by two dots.

The automatic Calibre 35111 powers the hour-minute-second and date at 3 0’clock functions and offers a 42-hour power reserve. A soft iron cage protects the movement from magnetic fields and the sapphire glass is secured against sudden drops in pressure in the cockpit.

Like the original from 1948, the functional sports watch is worn on a green Nato strap.

In reference to the year in which the first Mark 11 was produced, this special edition is limited to 1,948 watches.
In 9 o’clock, you’ve got the sub-dial that indicates daily, and now at 3 o’clock you’ve the sub-dials that reveal the date and power reserve. At 6 o’clock, there is a month indicator and moon phase display, and to the left of it about 8 o’clock you’ve the entire year indicator. Finally, there’s the flying tourbillon which makes a single rotation every second at 12 o’clock. The motion within is the self-winding IWC grade 51950, which relies upon the Caliber 51900 found in IWC’s additional tourbillon watches such as the Portugieser Tourbillon Mystère Rétrograde however with the ingenious 82-part perpetual calendar module developed by Kurt Klaus. This motion also contains IWC’s Pellaton winding system also has a generous power book of 168 hours, or 7 days. It’s observable through a sapphire display caseback and features a special commemorative 18k gold rotor.The other tourbillon watch that IWC has specially prepared for its 150th anniversary is the Portugieser Constant-Force Tourbillon Edition “150 decades.” This comes in a slightly larger 46mm wide Portugieser style case and is only accessible platinum. Like the sooner Portugieser Perpetual Calendar Tourbillon Edition “150 Years,” this view also offers heat-treated blue hour and minute hands. This is an updated version of past Constant-Force Tourbillon watches — Portugieser along with other models — combined with all the “perpetual moon phase display. At 1 o’clock there is a moon phase display that just has to be corrected by means of a day following 577.5 years. Finally, we have the highlight of the watch, the large tourbillon with a constant-force mechanism which delivers power in even impulses to the escapement. In theory, this should improve the chronometric performance of the movement.
It will be available exclusively from Harrods in London for three months starting in July 2017. After this, it will be available for purchase in all Iwc Watches Price In Qatar Replica boutiques and authorized retailers.
