Pilot's Watches
Pilot's Watches
The pilot's watch was of enormous importance, especially in the early days of civil and military aviation. Accuracy and easy readability were the essential requirements for fast and precise navigation in any flight situation. In 1936 IWC presented the first special watch for aviators. In 1940, the Large Pilot's Watch, also known as the Observation Watch, was launched on the market. In 1948 IWC produced a newly designed navigation watch with effective magnetic field protection for the Royal Air Force, which remained in service for over 40 years. The legendary Mark XI.

The pilot's watch with an iconic status
Mark
Not without good reason the Mark from IWC is one of the most interesting pilot's watches in the vintage sector. It was first produced in 1948 for the Royal Air Force and served for over 40 years as an instrument on the wrist of their pilots. Despite constant development, the Mark always remained a benchmark for many pilot's watches and is today more up-to-date than ever.
