IWC Mark XVIII | HODINKEE Spec Sheet | What You Need To Know

Welcome to HODINKEE's new video series, The Spec Sheet, where we use digestible, 60-second clips to showcase everything you need to know about a particular watch. The Spec Sheet hits all the details: Case size, wrist feel, thickness, movement, reference number, and (yes!) lug-to-lug dimensions. It's the next-best thing to having the watch in your own hands. This is the IWC Pilot Mk XVIII. Released in 2016, the Mark XVIII represented a shift towards a more conservative design over the preceding model, with a straightforward Arabic dial layout and simplified date window. This re-design was a return to the norm and a return to the watch's heritage. And it's right there in the name. It's called a "Mark" watch because it's a modern variation of the original IWC Mark XI from the late 1940s. A lot has changed about this watch over the years, from dial tweaks to case sizing, but the essence remains.
