The IWC MK XI 6B/346 has a special place amongst vintage (military) watch collectors. Issued to the British military between late 1940s to early 1950s, these 36 mm pilot watches are not only bullet-proof, but superbly balanced and legible on the wrist. This is an early example dating to 1948, and one of the best we have seen. Fantastic.
