IWC Pilot Tribute to Mark XI'

About this reference

The IWC Pilot’s Watch Tribute to Mark XI (Reference IW327007) was released in 2017 as a limited edition of 1,948 pieces, a number corresponding to the original Mark 11 launch year. Collectors prioritize this reference for its aesthetic fidelity to the vintage military navigator’s watch, featuring a matte black dial, a "flat" hour hand, and rectangular indices at the cardinal hours. Unlike the standard Mark XVIII, this model utilizes a 40mm stainless steel case with a soft-iron inner shell for magnetic field protection and houses the caliber 35111 movement. The date window is positioned at three o'clock, though the dial lacks the "Mark XVIII" branding found on non-limited counterparts. On the secondary market, this reference typically trades between $5,500 and $7,500 depending on condition and the presence of the original olive green textile strap. Early examples were initially exclusive to Harrods before a wider global release.
