IWC Mark XVII Pilot’s Wrist Watch
Many regard the International Watch Company pilot’s watch as the benchmark for pilot’s watches. The Swiss watch maker of Schaffhausen crafts a high-quality jewelry watch to withstand practical purposes of aeronautical and military demands. The Mark XVII automatic wind 21 jewel movement, with 42 hour power reserve, is in a stainless steel case. There is an inner soft case design that enables the movement to withstand magnetic forces. The distinct and straight forward time display features a matte black dial, crisp white hands, luminescence, and date display at 3 o’clock.
The back of the watch is signed by IWC and has serial number 5136234. Also signed on the back is “Filiegeruhr” which refers to the watch’s ability to adjust to UTC (Universal Time Coordinated).
In summary, the IWC Mark XVII Pilot’s Watch is a very reliable and satisfying timepiece. It also comes with an 18 month warranty.
