Over 75 years ago in 1940, IWC unveiled its large 52 T.S.C calibre observer’s watch (Tirette Seconde Centrale) designed for the military. The design and sheer size of the piece inspired the Schaffhausen brand to produce two versions of the Big Pilot’s Heritage Watch. The pair come in a 55 or 48mm sandblasted titanium case fuelled by a manual wind movement: the XXL model has a 98300 calibre and the supercharged 59215 calibre provides a 192-hour power reserve on the “small” version. The black dial on this limited edition (1000 available) features markers (minute track, Arabic hour numerals, triangular marker at 12) in beige Super-LumiNova®. Unlike its big brother, it also features the date and power reserve indicator in addition to the hours and minutes in the centre tracked by blue propeller-shaped hands and the small seconds at 6.

Hands-On The IWC Mark XVIII by Hodinkee: (https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/the-iwc-mark-xviii-2" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;)

Ζητώ προκαταβολικά συγνώμμη από όσα μέλη δεν ξέρουν αγγλικά, αλλά το να μεταφράσω ολόκληρο το μακροσκελές κείμενο της παρουσίασης στα ελληνικά, χρειάζεται χρόνο που αυτή τη στιγμή δεν διαθέτω. Όσα όμως σημεία κρίνω βασικά, θα τα μεταφράσω στα ελληνικά και θα σχολιάσω αν το κρίνω απαραίτητο(τα σχόλια μου θα έχουν μπλε χρώμα)

It was one of the most talked-about watches of SIHH 2016 and with good reason: the IWC Mark XVIII is both a great looking instrument watch and a return to long-wished-for clarity and simplicity in the Mark series of wristwatches from IWC. We went hands-on with them in Geneva; read on to find out what impression they made "in the metal."

The IWC Mark XVIII is the latest version in a series of watches that go all the way back to 1944, when the first of the Mark series of watches – the Mark X – was delivered to the UK. The Mark X wasn’t a pilot’s watch, but rather, a “general service” wristwatch intended for use in all service branches. The next in the series, however, was the Mark XI, which was first delivered to the RAF in 1948, and was intended specifically for use as a navigation wristwatch.

Το πρώτο Mark XI του 1944

The movement – IWC caliber 89 – had center seconds (as opposed to the sub-seconds display of the Mark X) and was encased in a soft iron cage, for resistance to magnetism; and Mark XI watches were put through a 44-day test program to ensure rate stability and general reliability, especially across a very wide range of temperatures. High precision, durability and reliability, resistance to magnetism, and legibility above all else have been the key characteristics of the Mark series of watches ever since, and have made them, as pioneering Internet watch writer Walt Odets famously remarked, “every non-pilot’s favorite pilot’s watch.”

A series of watches so beloved for their purity in design and singleness of purpose naturally attracted a strong following, and it also created a certain standard by which subsequent iterations of the Mark series would be judged. Though it’s a fan favorite in recent years, when Mark XII first came out there were not a few IWC enthusiasts who were outraged to see a date guichet. The newest version of the Mark series has just been introduced by IWC at SIHH 2016, however, and it’s largely been greeted with applause.



It’s certainly one of the purest, cleanest, and most unadorned Mark watches in years, and thus, to IWC fans, a return, so to speak, to the true faith. Mark XVIII is simply what everyone wants from a Mark watch. It’s 40 mm in diameter, and there is nothing on the dial that shouldn’t be there; it’s antimagnetic thanks to a soft iron case and dial (true Mark loyalists don’t hold with newfangled antimagnetic materials in their Mark series watches), and the “9” is back on the dial where it belongs, as God intended.

The movement is purchased as a kit from Sellita however; we’ve been to visit IWC in Schaffhausen and we can tell you they’re adjusted to five positions and IWC’s internal chronometry standards, which is value added where it counts (and the Mark watches have had supplied engines inside since the Mark XII anyway).
(Η διάμετρος του είναι 40 χιλιοστά και η μηχανή του είναι sellita ρυθμισμένη 5 θέσεων σύμφωνα με τα στάνταρ χρονομετρίας της IWC. Προσωπικά δεν με ενθουσιάζει αυτή η επιλογή. Τα προηγούμενα mark είτε είχαν in-house μηχανές είτε μηχανές από την JLC(το έχω δει από κοντά!) και τώρα βάζουν sellita;)


There are of course going to still be those who object to the hands (which, though not the shape found in Mark XI or XII, are the same shape used by IWC in its B-Uhr navigation watches, as seen in the current Big Pilot’s Watch) and the presence of a date window, but in just about every other respect, the Mark XVIII is the Mark that people have been clamoring for, and we’re delighted to see it. Oh, and if you want a 40 mm Mark XVIII that’s a little different, there’s a great looking “Le Petit Prince” model as well.


Το IWC Mark XVIII Le Petit Prince
IWC offers the Mark XVIII in stainless steel only, and you have a choice of black or “silver plated” (white) with a Santoni calfskin strap or a steel bracelet. Now one last thing: as we all know, there’s a 36 mm Pilot's Automatic as well. That one comes in five different dial colors, and the date wheel’s white. Something I keep thinking about, and I bet I’m not the only one, is a 36 mm Mark XVIII with no date window, a black dial, and a pair of old-school Mark XII-style hands. It probably wouldn’t fly out the door but it’d be as hell. In the meantime, though, Mark XVIII is as solid a choice as you can make in a tool watch and at $3,950 on a strap, is probably the biggest no-brainer of the Salon.
(Για όσους έχουν μικρό καρπό(είδες που με σκέφτεται η IWC;) υπάρχει και μοντέλο με διάμετρο 36 χιλιοστών με καντράν σε 5 διαφορετικά χρώματα και ασπρο τροχό ημερομηνίας. Το Mark XVIII(των 40mm) κοστίζει 3950$ με λουρί)

The IWC Mark XVIII is 40 mm x 11 mm with a soft iron dial and inner case for magnetic resistance. Black or silvered dial; Le Petit Prince is fitted with a midnight blue, sunray brushed dial. Sapphire crystal with double antireflective coating, “secured against displacement by drop in air pressure,” water resistance, 6 bar/60 meters. Movement, caliber 30110, adjust to temperature and five positions by IWC, center seconds with date, 42-hour power reserve. See the whole collection at IWC.com.
