With the introduction of the MK XII in 1994, IWC marked the return of its classic pilot's watch. The case measures 36 mm in diameter and has a height of 10.4 mm. The watch is fitted with the automatic calibre IWC 884, based on the Jaeger-LeCoultre calibre 889/2. The Mark XII Reference 3241 was available with a black dial in stainless steel and yellow gold and with a blue dial in a limited platinum edition of only 500 pieces. With its sober design, it embodies the ideal of the simple but perfect mechanical watch.
