While IWC only produced 6,000 of these watches, it provided the foundations for the more famous Mark XI, which began production in 1949 and was sold until 1981. This classic design gave life to the modern Pilot's collection, where these chronographs sit. These designs revolve around highly legible dials, mounted onto solid cases housing a modular chronograph movement. Though they were only introduced in the 1990s, long after mechanical chronographs ceased to be a navigational tool, they were very much built with practicality in mind. The brand's Top Gun collection are tactical additions to the Pilot line, made from high-tech materials such as titanium, ceratanium and ceramic. They lean heavily into the brand's military heritage, translating this into a stealthy and under-the-radar aesthetic.
