I got this watch 8 months ago, and love wearing it!! even after I just got a brand new $12,000 omega, that first week of owning the omega I only wore my new watch 4 days because I wanted to wear the mark xx 3 days. It's so perfect with whatever outfit I choose. and I like the ease-exchange strap system, I got it originally with a stainless steel bracelet then I got a brown leather strap, I sometimes use an omega nato strap in white and blue, and recently got a ease x-change red rubber strap, so I really do wear this in just about every occasion, just swapping the straps depending on how casual I want it.

I bought my Mark xx green dial in May of 2023. It is still one of my favorites in my collection. The proportions are such that it fits many wrist sizes (not too big or small). It truly is a GADA watch! I highly recommend buying it on the bracelet as it's one of the best in the business. Just a great watch all around!

Same here! Sending an email to one of the Sales Advisors of the Zurich boutique as we speak! Was looking to get the Omega Speedmaster 57 blue dial, but the simplicity, robustness of this watch feel more like „me“. Thank you!

1 - the Mark 18 had a polished bezel too, if we are talking blue dial variant. The black didn’t. 2 - the black dial is actually textured and VERY matte

IWC, slide the '9' and the date window 0.7 mm to the right, L2L 48mm height, then you have an almost perfect watch, at least a better proportion. Thanks.

Beautiful review, thank you! I heard about some issues in terms of accuracy (IWC doesn't state any rating) and jumping minute hand while hacking the movement...have you experienced any of those? How accurate is yours?
@Bredes111 ай бұрын
My mark XX does the jumping hand sometimes but not if you turn the crown counterclockwise first so not an actual problem And runs plus 5 to 8 seconds fast pr day
@phughes42249 ай бұрын
My XX has been amazingly accurate losing only 3 seconds per week! (I take it off a night to sleep, but wear it for approx 16 hours per day).
@ToolwatchBoutique2 ай бұрын
Mine has the jumping hand issue too, but it's not that bad actually and occurs only about 2/10 times. The accuracy with my model is at around +1.5 seconds per day

Every IWC pilot's watch has a soft iron cage. It was a spec requirement on their military contracts when they released their first pilot's watches in the 1930s.
@kreiman7706 ай бұрын
@alevansebel that's not true anymore. Some of the newest gen pilot chronos and big pilots have sapphire case backs, which makes a soft iron cage impossible

There is a similar looking Pilot's watch series model in 36mm, but it's not exactly a Mark XX. It has the previous Sellita based movement IW35111, which is also a great work horse.
