Hey Team! I know this is the Mark 20 but wanted to avoid confusion as it’s labelled as the Mark XX on IWCs website! Anyways, enjoy, much love from Mexico!

I traded in my white dial seamster for the black dial Speedy 3861 back in October 2023. So far, it's still feeling like the right decision. I do miss some aspects of the Seamaster, especially with it on the black rubber strap, but the overall package of the Speedy just makes it so much better. The bracelet by itself is worth the switch.

I’ve got the Mk XVI. Very versatile. And I got it when 39mm watches weren’t so popular. I’d always been a fan of the MoD Dirty Dozen watches. And nice to see UWC continuing the tradition.

Got the black dial version in january of this year. It is a real comfort to wear. Really love the wearing comfort of this on a bracelet. The looks is also great if you like field/pilot watch aesthetic. Quirk: the minute hand would jump forward when you pull the crown to hack the movement...but it has no issues with timekeeping at all since mine runs at a net of 0.0 seconds per day (gains 1 sec worn, loses 1 sec when placed dial up resting overnight) Nice to have things: -fully lumed arabic numerals, but i do understand it is a design choice in keeping with the original lume placement of the mark XI. -heat blued hands instead of high polish, to give it that german flieger look.

Excellent roundup. Having owned this exact watch for about a year I agree with all you said, you summed it up very well. One thing you didn't touch on much is the bracelet being incredibly comfortable and the on-the-fly is the best there is. I know some like and some don't like the sporty/slightly-dressy look with the polished bits on the bracelet, but putting personal fashion/style tastes aside the way the bracelet wears is just the best. And it quick-disconnects for a nato when you're going adventuring :-) This really can be a one-and-done every single day watch! I'm a big fan. I had the blue for about a year, then sold it and got the classic (more purist) black dial.

Beautiful, although I prefer the XVIII.....I feel that the numerals are standing too far of the indices on the XX....they probably did that to get the date window more aligned, but it gives it a too-full dial in my opinion, compared to the XVIII where the numerals are very close to the indices as they are on all other Marks and the Big Pilot

I think it might be the most versatile luxury watch, period. It really should replace the Explorer I as the default "GADA" luxury watch. Esp because it has the quick change strap system (buckle is also quick change), and the watch legit looks good on bracelet, rubber, and leather. Only other watch I can say that about is the VC Overseas, which is like 4x the price.

@cos-9113 4 ай бұрын

Since it’s a pilot watch it should have more super luminova for use in the air at night. It would look better, and higher end IMO, with the hour numbers with luminova as well. Same if you are using it in the field. It is supposed to be a “tool” watch.

@Neil11K 4 ай бұрын

@ALL-il1sw 12 күн бұрын

Ok, and? Hate to say this but Richemont and Swatch watch makers are producing some of the best movements in the business. It's kinda like car manufacturing, by having a parent company, the cost of innovation can be spread out, which also creates shared movement. But for the money those movements are incredible

@michaelhayward107 11 күн бұрын

@@ALL-il1sw The point I was making is exactly summarised by your end statement. If indeed “for the money these movements are incredible”. Why are they used in watches with such diverse price points? Where is the value aspect, when the same movement is used in a £3,600 Baume et Mercier Riviera, a £5,050 IWC Pilot watch Mark XX or a £10,500 IWC Ingenieur? Also, these movements are brand-finished by Valfleurier, so they differ in appearance only. Horology is all about pushing the boundaries of movement design and manufacturing. This has little to do with brand-specific price points, cases, dials or bracelet design. But, I suppose the real controversy lies in the fact. These in-house movements are not manufactured by the companies as claimed on their websites.
