IWC - Pilot Mark XII - IW3241 - Mænd - 1990-1999

''You simply cannot think about IWC without thinking of its legendary impact on wristwatches destined for the sky. Its pilot's range of watches needs no introduction. The history of the Mark XII can be traced all the way back to the 1930s when IWC was pivotal in defining the essentials of what a watch for pilots was capable of. As the world grew ever smaller thanks to aviation advancements, the demands from pilots for quality watches became more stringent. Suddenly watches had to be able to withstand extreme temperatures, magnetic fields, and vibrations as well as be reliably accurate and reassuringly robust. IWC met these demands head-on, with early generations of IWC Pilots (such as the IX) quickly becoming the gold standard. The IWC Pilot Mark XII is a 1990s child and directly replaced the more classic and vintage Mark XI. It's a reference that respectfully honors this rich history by advancing its design while simultaneously taking advantage of more modern watchmaking for the time period.''

''In the mid-80s, the Royal Air Force began to withdraw the Mark XI from use and for a few years, it disappeared. Then, in 1994, the introduction of the Mark XII Ref. 3241 heralded a new age for the iconic pilot’s watch. Fortunately, rather than losing their original charm, they returned looking cooler than ever. The Mark XII was the start of a simple yet perfect mechanical watch with a timeless design code.''
