IWC Mark XVIII

I Think it fits to watch very well. So anyways, guys, what do I think it's the verdict I Will say for a $4,000 watch, you can see where the value is c...

After browsing through innumerable listings I decided on the IWC Mark XVIII Pilot’s watch, what most appealed to me was is its understated aesthetic. The watch has a classic tool watch design, with a sleek 11mm profile. After keeping my eye out for a while I came across an ‘unworn’ Mark XVIII on Chrono24 and the price was just right.

\- 2019: **Timex Q**, fell for the hype back then and was lucky to get one of the firsts; don't wear it much, but like it as an alternative to the G-Shock when I'm on vacation and don't want to worry about my watches getting stolen or sandy on a beach. \- 2019: **Nomos Metro 38 Datum**; wanted to have a Nomos for a long time and bought this one to wear at my wedding, but ended up wearing the Omega... still a great fan of Nomos, but I don't wear the Metro too often, might flip this one soon. \- 2020: **IWC Mark XVIII**, had wanted this one for a long time, it was actually the biggest competition to the Speedmaster back in 2017; finally got it last year, wore it daily for all of 2020; love the versatility and the bracelet.

**IWC Mark XVIII Petite Prince** \- this is my most recent pick up and currently my daily. I work in a hospital and for the most part like to fly under the radar with my watch obsession around colleagues. I find the date function crucial during the work week, and the legibility on this watch is truly second to none that I’ve worn.

IWC Mark XVIII: The Mark XVIII has a new blue leather strap and honestly I love the look of it on this one more than the brown OEM strap. It has been the perfect weekend wear even though it has been losing about 2 minutes a day recently.

This is my 2 watch collection that consists of IWC Mark XVIII and Seiko SPB105J1 aka baby MarineMaster. IWC is the watch that I use daily for the last few month and I could not be happier. I previously used to own Omega Aquaterra (2017 version with blue dial) and whist it is a great watch, I felt it has got too much bling... IWC has super comfortable fully brushed bracelet, clasp with micro adjustments, very nice proportions (40mm, 11mm thick and 50 lug to lug), excellent finishing and overall is an excellent watch for someone who is intending to stay a bit under the radar.

Form left to right:. IWC Mark XVIII with textile beige strap - wears larger due to the long lugs but it's second to none in terms of legibility.

**IWC Mark XVIII**: Mark XVIII spent close to 2 months of the year in the service centre. It was gaining almost a minute, a day. Due to the slow movement of replacement parts in the pandemic, spent a lot of time away from it, which made the heart only grow fonder of it.

Hi everyone,. I recently started growing an interest for the IWC Pilot Watch Mark XVIII Heritage with the titanium case and brown leather strap, shown in this post. I find it a smooth casual watch which may be worn in various occasions.
