One shot of the IWC Pilot’s Watch Mark XVIII Edition Tribute to Mark XI
One shot of the IWC Pilot’s Watch Mark XVIII Edition Tribute to Mark XI.
I think IWC did a good job here. Well balanced, "in the spirit of" but not a replica of the original.
It's larger than the original, 40mm in diameter (original 36mm if my memory serves me well).
The canvas nato strap adds the vintage feel.
The only thing I would like to have seen differently is the date. The original Mk XI do not have a date and I would have preferred the same on this tribute.
