IWC Pilot's Watches IW327004 40 mm Blue Dial

The Pilot's Watch Mark XVIII IW327004 distils IWC's aviation design into a focused 40mm steel case. Its blue dial gives the discontinued reference a more vivid presence than a conventional black instrument watch, while the solid caseback and screw-down crown retain the collection's practical restraint. Convex sapphire with antireflective coating on both sides protects the display without interrupting the clean geometry.

At 11mm thick, the watch carries its date display in a proportionate case rather than chasing oversized pilot-watch drama. Automatic calibre 30110 supplies hours, minutes and central seconds as well, with 21 jewels, a 4Hz frequency and 42 hours of power reserve. The 60m water resistance completes a straightforward everyday specification, keeping the Mark XVIII's appeal in its clarity and balance.
