A watch for the Royal Air Force
The International Watch Company (IWC) specialised in pilot watches at an early stage. While the first IWC Mark 9 and 10 models were produced in the 1930s and were mainly worn by air force pilots, the Mark 11 launched in 1948 made the series a true legend. The Mark 11 was produced until the mid-1980s and many collectors today regard it as one of the most important pilots and military watches on the market.
