IWC Mark XVI Pilots Watch.

In 1940 the ’British Ministry of Defense’ started their search for a watch that they could supply their troops with. The watches that met the high standards of the ministry were all engraved with the letters: ’WWW’. This means: ’Watches Wristlet Waterproof’. These watches were known as the ’Mark X’ watches. IWC was one of the few manufacturers that produced watches exactly like the British Ministry of Defense wanted. In 1944 IWC launched the ‘perfect military watch’ with the name ‘IWC Mark X Pilots Watch’. Later the Mark X was updated. After this update IWC launched a new model. The Mark XI. This watch is also known as the Mark 11. The Mark 11 is one of the most popular watches from IWC ever. This watch was produced from 1948 to 1984. IWC went on with building and improving the original Mark X. Now there is the Mark XVI. Because of it’s military background this watch has a few notable aspects. For example this watch is resistant to magnetism. Also this watch has a spezial kind of glass that is resistant to sudden air pressure changes. This is a great model from the ’Pilots’ collection from IWC.
