IWC Pilot's Watch Mark XVIII Tribute to MKXI

The IWC Pilot's Watch can trace its history back to the oversized timepieces produced for military aviators in 1940. These enormous pieces were originally designed for maximum legibility in a cockpit setting, and were originally designed to be worn on the pilot's thigh! Today the Pilot's line is perhaps IWC's most identifiable collection, featuring a variety of case and dial configurations suited for any taste - provided your wrist can handle the larger than average dimensions! This particular example was released as a limited edition in 2018 as a tribute to the original MKXI from the 1940s. Reasonably sized next to its larger "Big Pilot"sibling, this watch comes in at 40mm and just under 11mm in thickness, and is suitable for nearly any wrist. Featuring a stainless steel case with a matte black dial and the genre-defining large Arabic numerals with matching handset, this watch pays faithful tribute to its forefather, while incorporating a few handy contemporary updates.
