IWC Pilot’s Watch Mark XX – Reference IW328202
Timeless Aviation Heritage Meets Modern Precision
The IWC Pilot’s Watch Mark XX Ref. IW328202 is a contemporary tribute to the iconic Mark 11, a navigation watch developed by IWC in 1948 for the British Royal Air Force. This modern iteration embodies the essence of a classic pilot’s watch, combining historical significance with cutting-edge watchmaking technology.
Refined Design and Superior Legibility
Featuring a 40mm stainless steel case, the Mark XX maintains a balanced presence on the wrist. The black dial is adorned with bold white Arabic numerals and rhodium-plated hands, all coated with luminescent material to ensure optimal readability in low-light conditions. A date window at the 3 o’clock position adds practical functionality without compromising the watch’s clean aesthetic.
Robust Construction for Everyday Wear
Crafted for durability, the watch boasts a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with double-sided anti-reflective coating, secured against displacement caused by sudden pressure drops—a nod to its aviation roots. The screw-in crown enhances water resistance, allowing the watch to withstand pressures up to 10 bar (100 meters), making it suitable for various activities beyond the cockpit.
Innovative Movement and Impressive Power Reserve
At the heart of the IW328202 lies the IWC-manufactured Caliber 32111, an automatic movement renowned for its reliability and precision. Operating at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz), this movement offers an exceptional 120-hour power reserve, ensuring accurate timekeeping over extended periods without the need for daily winding.
Versatile Bracelet with EasX-CHANGE® System
The watch is fitted with a five-link stainless steel bracelet that combines polished and brushed finishes for a sophisticated look. IWC’s proprietary EasX-CHANGE® system allows for effortless strap replacement without the need for tools, providing versatility to suit various occasions and personal styles.
