Description
The Pilot’s Watch Mark XVIII Edition “HODINKEE” takes the best of the classic IWC pilot’s watches and combines them with the current production Mark XVIII. The dial is a nod to vintage IWC; the clean design with painted white Arabic numerals and lumed stick indexes at three, six, and nine – and of course, that characteristic arrow at 12 o’clock (also luminous) – is reminiscent of those original tool watches. The 39mm case, however, is made entirely of Ceratanium, a proprietary material IWC Schaffhausen has developed over the course of five years. Ceratanium begins as a unique titanium alloy containing zirconium oxide; when heated, the zirconium oxide hardens into a ceramic crust that is fused to the case. The color turns matte black, and the end result is a watch light like titanium, but with the scratch resistance and durability of ceramic.*
The no-date automatic IWC caliber 35100 powers the Mark XVIII Edition “HODINKEE,” and the caseback features pared back engravings including the limited edition number out of 500. The watch comes on a durable olive green embossed calfskin strap with a Ceratanium pin buckle.
The watch will ship with a new factory strap.
