Encased in a 40mm stainless steel body at just 10.8mm thick, the Mark XX delivers rugged reliability with understated elegance. Its anti-reflective sapphire crystal is secured against sudden drops in air pressure, reinforcing its pilot-watch roots. The vibrant sunburst green dial paired with luminous white numerals, a signature triangular index at 12 o’clock, and rhodium-plated hands ensure exceptional legibility at a glance. A date function sitting discretely at three o’clock rounds out the clean, functional aesthetic. Under the surface beats IWC’s in-house calibre 32111, offering a remarkable 120-hour power reserve, stopping seconds, and commendable precision at 4Hz. The watch is water-resistant to 100m and includes a soft-iron inner case for magnetic protection.

Completing the design is a robust five-link stainless steel bracelet featuring IWC’s EasX-CHANGE® system, allowing tool-free strap swaps in seconds. The Mark XX strikes a careful balance between tool-watch pedigree and contemporary refinement, ideal for those who appreciate purpose-built precision and modern polish.

At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
