IWC Schaffhausen Pilot Watch Mark XVII 41 IW326501

The IWC Schaffhausen Mark XVII pilot watch, reference IW326501, is a consistent evolution of the legendary Mark series, combining classic pilot watch design with modern technology. The 41 mm stainless steel case impresses with its balanced proportions and excellent legibility. The matte black dial with bold Arabic numerals, generous luminous hands, and the characteristic altimeter-style date display gives the watch its distinctive look. Scratch-resistant, anti-reflective sapphire crystal on both sides ensures optimal visibility in all conditions.

Inside, the proven IWC 30110 automatic caliber operates with a power reserve of around 42 hours. In addition to precise timekeeping, the watch features a date display and a central seconds hand with a seconds stop for exact time setting. A soft iron inner case reliably protects the movement from magnetic fields, while the specially secured sapphire crystal also withstands sudden pressure drops—features that trace back to the long tradition of professional IWC pilot watches. Its water resistance of up to 6 bar (60 meters) also makes the watch a robust companion for everyday wear.

With its clear design, high-quality craftsmanship, and functional features, the IWC Mark XVII IW326501 pilot watch embodies the essence of a classic pilot watch. It combines historical roots with contemporary technology and is an excellent choice for both enthusiasts of authentic pilot watches and collectors of high-quality Swiss timepieces.
