Keep in mind that the CEO (99% of the time) is not looking for his design team to design a watch for the (relatively) small group that is the audience for this particular watch.
I agree with you insofar as I also really like the watch, because it has no date. But not because it's closer to the original but rather because to my eye it just looks better without a date window. That said, I believe I've read and heard (from brands, ceos etc) that the average watch buyer wants a date, they also don't want to wind their $5000 watch every day.
IWC x Rake x Revolution Pilot's Watch 36
I think it's safe to post this as the watch was officially unveiled at IWC's booth in SIHH today and is already SOLD OUT. This is IWC's collaboration with the Rake and Revolution. A pilot's watch that is IMO the closest homage to the original IWC Mark 11 ...
Well done...
This is clearly the most interesting of the IWC bunch I am not a huge fan of the movement: is it really a bargain for the price? But it is a nice watch for sure. I wonder how the CEO feels when external advisers/bloggers do a better job than his own desig...
It would have been awesome if IWC could have supplied 150 cal. 89s for this watch
but maybe that's asking too much? Bargain is all relative. The Speedy Tuesday Ultraman lists over US$7K as did the Hodinkee10 Speedmaster. My PAM 721 lists at US$9,200. A stainless steel GMT-Master Pepsi ceramic has a MSRP of US$9,250 if you can even find...

Thanks for posting!
Congrats to your incoming! I also ordered this one as soon as it was announced a couple of weeks ago. I've been waiting for a no-date IWC Mark 11 for a long long time...This is an awesome release..in my opinion.. Can't wait!
Thanks for posting this!
I wasn’t convinced initially because I’m not a fan of collaborative special edition watches; yet I bought one. This watch has a well executed design. It pays tribute to the vintage Mark 11 but is also a modern watch in its own right. Well priced I believe...
finally!!!
some watches in 36 and not 40+ !! love the size and model a shame it's sold out already though I have always been not a big fan of iwc but that one may come to an exception ! Kev
Fantastic catch! i like this watch also
Almost bought it, then i cancel after i saw the new spitfire in bronze and 39 mm Which is better suited my wrist, although I'd prefer it without date as yours. And the new caliber in house is the thing that made my decision. Congrats for your new watch, h...
Update: Crazy price on the secondary market
Double the MSRP of $4,500 on the grey market (brand new example). ...
