The Mark 11 was launched in 1948 and quickly became a classic thanks to its clean lines and restrained, functional design. Its anti-magnetic soft iron inner shield and use of the reliable caliber 89 movement further solidified the Mark 11's reliability, and it stayed in production through the mid-1980s. Around this time, IWC launched the cult classic reference 3705 Fliegerchronograph, a pilot’s watch in a 39mm black ceramic case. This was the first chronograph produced in ceramic with a 39mm diameter, and because it was produced for only a few years, it remains a rare and highly sought after model today.

The Pilot’s Watch Mark XVIII Edition “HODINKEE” takes the best of these two classic IWC pilot’s watches and combines them with the current production Mark XVIII. The dial is a nod to vintage IWC; the clean design with painted white Arabic numerals and lumed stick indexes at three, six, and nine – and of course, that characteristic arrow at 12 o’clock (also luminous) – is reminiscent of those original tool watches. The 39mm case, however, is made entirely of Ceratanium, a proprietary material IWC Schaffhausen has developed over the course of five years. Ceratanium begins as a unique titanium alloy containing zirconium oxide; when heated, the zirconium oxide hardens into a ceramic crust that is fused to the case. The color turns matte black, and the end result is a watch light like titanium, but with the scratch resistance and durability of ceramic.*

The no-date automatic IWC caliber 35100 powers the Mark XVIII Edition “HODINKEE,” and the caseback features pared back engravings including the limited edition number out of 500. The watch comes on a durable olive green embossed calfskin strap with a Ceratanium pin buckle.
