IWC Schaffhausen completes the Mark XX collection with new versions in stainless steel. The full line-up now includes black, blue, and green dial variations. The watches are available either with calfskin straps or with a new high-grade five-link stainless steel bracelet, which is highly comfortable to wear. The Mark XX is the latest addition to the Mark series. These models hark back to the legendary Mark 11 developed for the British Royal Air Force in 1948.

The fascination with Pilot’s watches is rooted in their functional, purist design in the style of an easy-toread cockpit instrument. Moreover, the unique history of these timepieces continues to inspire people today. IWC’s Pilot’s watches were initially conceived as precision instruments for celestial navigation. Pilots used them with a sextant to determine their position during visual flights. Hardly any other model embodies this history like the Mark from IWC. The latest addition to the series is the Pilot’s Watch Mark XX. It continues the lineage started by the Mark 11, a precise and antimagnetic instrument watch IWC developed in 1948 for pilots and navigators of the British Royal Air Force and which remained in service well until the 1980s.

The Pilot’s Watch Mark XX ( Ref. I W3282) features a robust and corrosion-resistant stainless steel case with a diameter of 40 millimetres and improved lug ergonomics. The high-contrast dial with white numerals and indices displays the triangular index at 12 o’clock, which has become a signature design detail of IWC’s Pilot’s watches. Luminous elements on the dial and the rhodium-plated hands ensure great readability in all lighting conditions.

The new reference is equipped with the IWC-manufactured 32111 calibre. This newly engineered automatic movement uses a bidirectional pawl winding system to build up a power reserve of 120 hours. In addition, the front glass of the watch is specially secured against sudden drops in air pressure. Another practical feature is IWC’s EasX-CHANGE® quick-change system*, which allows to change the strap or bracelet easily without needing additional tools. Furthermore, the Mark XX is now certified as water-resistant to 10 bars, making it the perfect companion for any adventure.
