The IWC Mark XX is a watch that truly captures the essence of a pilot’s tool, offering a perfectly balanced size that appeals to both aviation enthusiasts and watch aficionados. Positioned alongside the iconic Big Pilot and the more compact Big Pilot 43, the Mark XX draws its heritage from the legendary Dirty Dozen and the early Mark series.
Since its inception, the Mark series has undergone numerous updates and modernisations, with the Mark XX emerging as the latest evolution—previously available exclusively in stainless steel.
However, IWC has now introduced what could be the most captivating iteration of the Mark XX to date—a special edition that pays tribute to the Patrouille Suisse, the renowned acrobatic team of the Swiss Air Force, as they celebrate their 60th anniversary.
This tribute model is distinguished by a full matte titanium case and a monochromatic design that exudes a sleek, instrument-like aesthetic while ensuring exceptional comfort on the wrist. The matte blasted titanium extends to the bezel, crown, and caseback, which features exclusive engravings that further enhance its distinct character.
The watch retains the familiar dimensions of its predecessors, with a 40mm diameter, 10.6mm thickness, and 49mm length, making it a versatile option that fits comfortably on various wrist sizes.
The slate grey dial, enhanced by a sunray-brushed finish, adds a touch of sophistication to the overall design. While it maintains the clean and functional layout of the classic steel Mark XX, this edition introduces subtle yet impactful details, such as black-outlined hands and a red-tipped seconds hand that provides a striking contrast.
Accompanying the watch is a black textile strap equipped with IWC’s innovative EasX-CHANGE system, allowing for easy strap changes, and a durable titanium pin buckle. Beneath the solid caseback lies the calibre 32111, an IWC-manufactured movement that boasts automatic winding, a 4Hz frequency, and an impressive 120-hour power reserve, ensuring reliable performance.
