The Watch

Here we have a 2000s IWC Pilot Mark XV on Leather Strap IW3253. The classic Mark XV was produced from 1999 until 2005, and the Mark X line of watches can trace its heritage back to 1944 when it was issued to the military. The 38mm satin brushed stainless steel case curves over your wrist with a lug-to-lug length of 46.5mm and a case thickness of 10.5mm, ensuring a comfortable fit on your wrist. On the right side, we have a signed crown. The smooth bezel holds a slightly domed sapphire crystal above a matte black dial, and an outer minute track is precisely executed with lume-coated batons and Arabic numeral indices marking the hours. At 3 o'clock, there is a date window; at 12 o’clock, we have the large triangle, slender baton and sword hands coated in lume are complemented by a teardrop counterweighted sweeping second hand. Printed at 12 o’clock, we have the IWC motif, and at 6 o’clock, "Mark XV Automatic" completes this vintage-inspired pilot watch. On the reverse, a screw-down case back with the details of the watch and IWC engraved into it, inside an automatic IWC Cal. 30110, which has a base of the ETA 2892-A2, 21 jewels, 28,800 beats per hour; the movement is heavily modified by IWC. The watch comes fitted on its 19mm black IWC leather strap with a signed buckle.
