IWC IW325311 Pilot Mark XV Spitfire SS Black Dial

The IWC Pilot Mark XV reference IW325311 is a refined and historically grounded timepiece that embodies the lineage of IWC’s iconic pilot watches. Crafted in stainless steel and introduced in the mid‑2000s, this model houses the reliable automatic Calibre 30110, offering a 42‑hour power reserve and robust performance. With a 38 mm case diameter and approximately 10.5 mm thickness, it maintains an ideal balance between wearability and presence, while the soft‑iron inner case provides enhanced antimagnetic protection—a nod to its aviation heritage. The black dial, marked by luminous Arabic numerals and a clean date window at 3 o’clock, echoes the functional clarity of the Mark XI, yet with a modern sensibility. Its black buffalo leather strap, paired with a stainless steel deployant or tang buckle, complements the tool‑watch aesthetic while ensuring comfort. With 60 m water resistance, it is practical for daily wear without compromising its pilot watch roots. Though not a limited edition, the Mark XV’s restrained proportions, movement pedigree, and direct connection to IWC’s storied pilot line make it a compelling choice for collectors seeking understated elegance and historical resonance. Excellent Condition with IWC box and undated papers.
