IWC has announced a new variation of the Pilot’s Watch Mark XX to celebrate the 75th anniversary of its Mark series, which was originally developed for the British Royal Air Force.

Back in 2022, the watchmaker released the Pilot’s Watch Mark XX with a range of color dials, spanning sunburst blue, sunburst green, and matte black. For the latest addition, the Maison is taking on a more minimalistic approach with a silver-plated white dial.

Boasting a high-contrast design, the dial comes emblazoned with the model’s classic sans serif numerals, alongside the distinctive triangular index perched at the 12 o’clock mark. The small date window is positioned in the 3 o’clock direction, except this time, it complements the dial with a tonal color scheme. While the rest of the watch, from the 40mm stainless steel case, aircraft engraving on the caseback, screw-in crown to the in-house 32111 automatic caliber beating inside, possess all the same functions as its 2022 counterparts.

The new IWC offering is integrated with the EasX-CHANGE® system, allowing wearers to effortlessly switch between the calfskin strap and stainless steel bracelet. For more info on price and availability, head over now to IWC’s official website.
