Εντελώς αδιάφορο. Υπάρχουν παρόμοια timex πιο όμορφα. Ο χρονογράφος, κάτι λέει...

Πολύ κοντά στο mark xv που είναι από τα κορυφαία μαρκ που κυκλοφορησαν, και σίγουρα το τελευταίο αξιόλογο.

Αν το θέτεις έτσι, δε διαφωνώ... Αλλά θα κυνηγούσα το XV αν ήταν να δώσω τόσα λεφτά.

IWC’s First Special Pilot’s Watch – the Mark IX
When IWC made its first watch for pilots in the mid-1930s, flying – whether civil or military – was still extremely complex and stretched both pilot and wristwatch to the limit. To assist navigation, air crews needed a watch that could be relied on to keep accurate time even when surrounded by strong magnetic fields. The 1935 Mark IX fulfilled all the necessary criteria. Adjusted at temperatures  between -40 and +40°C, it had a classical  bridge movement with an antimagnetic escapement, extra-strong luminous hands and  figures, an unbreakable glass and rotating  glass bezel with a marking showing take-off  time and the time spent flying on each individual course. The Mark IX was the first pilot’s watch from IWC with a soft-iron inner back to shield the movement from magnetic fields.

The Mark X Military Watch
The Mark X was manufactured for the British armed forces, but not specifically as a pilot’s watch. It featured a black dial with luminous Arabic numerals and luminous arrow-shaped hands as well as a “chemin de fer” chapter ring. One of the special features under the IWC logo on the dial is the so-called royal arrow, found on all the watches made for the British forces. Fitted with the same IWC 83  calibre movement found in the Mark IX, about  6000 of this model were manufactured between the late 1930s and 1947 (case numbers 1131001 – 1137000). The 83 calibre was also fitted in many IWC watches designed for civilian use. Specifications were the same as for the first special pilot’s watch.

The Legendary Mark XI
In 1948 the Mark XI – still the best-known of all IWC’s pilot’s watches – prepared to take off with its newly developed 89 calibre movement on board. It rapidly gained official endorsement when it was selected for military and civilian use by air forces and civil airlines all over the world. The experience gleaned from the pilot’s watches of the past and many recent developments in watchmaking flowed into the ingenious, high-precision movement and the well-designed case.

Like the extra-large pilot’s watch before it, it too featured a soft-iron inner case to protect it against magnetic fields. Before delivery,  every watch underwent an extremely though  16-day test program for navigator wristwatches, in the course of which it was tested  in five positions at temperatures between -5  and +45°C.

The Mark XII – The Pilot’s Watch Reborn
In 1993 the time had come for another mechanical pilot’s watch. This one was an automatic with the addition of a date display.  Otherwise, the Mark XII was a virtual replica of its forerunner: a luminous triangle at 12 o’clock, eye-catching markers at 3, 6 and 9 o’clock, Arabic numerals. Like the Mark XI before it, the Mark XII is a perfect combination of form and function. The plain, simple case with its uncluttered dial contains an inner case made of soft iron to protect it against strong magnetic fields. The crown screws in and the Mark XII is water-resistant to 60 m. The hardness of the sapphire glass (grad 9) effectively ensures that no unsightly scratches detract from the beauty of the dial and hands.

The Mark XII is fitted with the superb IWC 884 calibre movement, adjusted in five different positions. A stop-second function like the one found in its predecessor guarantees  absolutely precise setting while a rapid advance mechanism makes child’s play out  of setting the date.
