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.
Life
is hard. Simply telling the time should be easy, right? IWC agrees with
this sentiment, and their Pilot's Watch Mark XX is proof of the matter.
Consider
this timepiece a distillation of the pilot watch down to brass tacks.
Legibility and ease of use are the priorities here.
Take
the debonair blue dial. Bold printed Arabic numerals are easy to read
at a glance. The luminous hands and markers at 12, 3, 6, and 9 allow you
to get your bearings in low light. There is a date window conveniently
positioned at 3.
As
a self-winding automatic watch, IWC's manufacture 32111 caliber beats
at the heart of this beauty. The central hacking seconds comes in handy
when setting the time, and, best of all, you get a 120-hour power
reserve.
The
stainless steel case measures 40 mm in diameter, a slim and comfortable
10.8 mm in height, and rests upon a stainless steel bracelet with a
folding buckle. Be sure to look for the iconic airplane upon the closed
caseback.
Additional features include a screw-down winding crown, 100 m / 10 atm water resistance, and scratch-resistant sapphire crystal.
As
a streamlined pilot's watch, the Mark XX by IWC exceeds expectations in
every regard, and we believe it will make an excellent addition to your
collection.
