Developed as an homage to the original Mark 11 watch designed by former IWC owner Ernst Jakob Homberger for his sons, the IWC Pilot's Watch Automatic 36mm Special Edition harks back to the era of the Gentleman Aviator in style and form. The original Mark 11 is one of the most renowned timepieces that IWC has ever built in its history, spanning a production lifetime of some 35 years and configured to fit the tool requirements of the British Royal Air Force. This special edition developed by The Rake and Revolution with the brand evokes the utilitarian purity of the Mark 11 updated with a new colour palette never seen before in the Pilot's collection till now.

An olive-green nylon NATO strap with bronze-coloured keepers by NOMAD Watch Works, and an additional olive green suede leather strap with bronze-coloured keepers by Jean Paul Menicucci specially for Revolution. [h=2]THE STORY[/h] IWC Schaffhausen's motto 'Probus Scafusia' means 'good, solid craftsmanship from Schaffhausen.' As well as being a perfectly succint summary of the brand's ethos, this motto is something that is evident in all of the watches that come out of IWC's cutting-edge Swiss workshops. The craftsmanship that goes into the watches really speaks for itself; watches by IWC Schaffhausen are instantly recognisable for their quality and durabilty.
