The IWC Pilot XVIII Tribute to XI IW327007 is a unique take on the popular Pilot ‘mark’ series of watches, with a few small details setting this apart from the rest of the family. The first thing that stands out on the Tribute to XI watch are the squared off hands, and fully numbered dial, itself a callback to the original Mark 11 from 1948. The lume has an “aged” look for max vintage vibes, and goes beautifully with the green textile strap. Inside beats the 35111 Calibre, a Sellita based movement that keeps the retail price well under $5,000. The movement sits within a soft-iron inner case for protection against magnetic fields. On the wrist, you can expect the Pilot XVIII Tribute to XI IW327007 to wear beautifully, sized at 40mm and a relatively slim depth. Being a tribute to a watch released in 1948, this Pilot is limited in production to just 1,945 units. At present, pre-owned examples are listed for a touch over retail pricing.
