Limited edition IWC Pilot Mark XVIII “Le Petit Prince” 327004. Since 2006, IWC has unveiled a series of Pilot’s Watch special editions in honor of the outstanding books and life’s work of the French author and great pilot Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. No other writer succeeded in describing the excitement of those pioneering days of aviation more vividly than Saint-Exupéry. His fiction addresses universal values such as friendship and humanity; his most famous works “The Little Prince”, “Night Flight” and “Southern Mail” made him immortal. The limited edition “Le Petit Prince” has the exact same specifications of the MkXVII however what differentiates it is the gorgeous blue dial. Here we find also a brown Santoni calfskin strap (IWC Pilot Mark XVIII replica).
The IWC Pilot Mark XVIII Top Gun Miramar is the last addition to this year’s pilots line by the company. In 2007, for the first time, a watch bearing the name Top Gun joined the IWC Pilot’s Watch product line. The name comes from a special training course offered by the United States Navy Fighter Weapons School, better known by the legendary accolade “Top Gun”. In 2012, named by IWC Schaffhausen as the year of the Pilot’s Watches, the Top Gun/Miramar collection established itself as an independent line in the IWC Pilot’s Watch family. In 2016 the Mark family acquires a Top Gun brother. Here as well we find similar tech specs, however we find also major differences from the other newly introduced models. The size is 41mm, the case is not stainless steel but polished ceramic, the dial is anthracite-colored and we have a green calfskin strap (embossed) with a titanium pin buckle. Clearly this watch is a fusion of the traditional and the avant-garde. By keeping all these elements that make the mark family of watches iconic, IWC apportioned high-tech details in order to make this model stand out from the crowd.
