PILOT'S WATCH MARK XVIII
Welcome to the small circle of individuals who, if we
are to be absolutely precise, demand slightly more of a watch
than absolute precision. Appreciation of a watch is more than
mere appreciation of the correct time. It is enthusiasm for an
ingenious idea. For the interplay between precision and imagin-
ation. Between time and timelessness. Between boundaries and
infinity. Between laws to which the entire world is subject, and
taste, which cannot be dictated to anyone. That is why, since
1868, we have been devoting rather more of our time to watches
that must not only run with absolute precision but which also, with
every passing second, exert a fascination with the great achieve-
ments of master craftsmanship: a fascination with new inventions
of a technical, material or formal nature, even if they are con-
cealed in minute details that are perhaps not even visible. You are
now the owner of a beautiful new example of this IWC tradition.
We would like to congratulate you on your choice and send you
our best wishes for the time you will spend with your watch, which
perhaps cannot be described with any greater accuracy than it is
here.

THE TECHNICAL REFINEMENTS
OF THE PILOT’S WATCH MARK XVIII
Your IWC watch shows you the time in hours, minutes and
seconds together with the date. The mechanical movement with
automatic winding has a power reserve of approximately 42 hours
when fully wound. Your Pilot’s Watch Mark XVIII is protected by a
sapphire glass of hardness grade 9 on Mohs’ scale. The glass is
retained securely in the case at low pressure, for example when
a drop in air pressure occurs at extreme altitudes. Your watch
is water-resistant 6 bar. The soft-iron inner case provides pro-
tection against magnetic fields. To ensure that this extraordinary
watch continues to perform faultlessly in the future, it is essential
to observe a few important operating instructions.

FUNCTIONS OF THE CROWN
X — Normal position (screwed in)
0 — Winding position
1 — Date setting
2 — Time setting
NORMAL POSITION
This watch has a screw-in crown. Screwing the crown in to
its normal position (X) prevents the inadvertent adjustment of
the time or date and also acts as a double seal to prevent water
from seeping into the case. To release the crown, unscrew it by
turning it to the left, where it automatically assumes position 0,
the winding position. By depressing the crown in position X and
turning it to the right at the same time, it is screwed down firmly
again and secured.

WINDING POSITION
With the crown in the winding position (0), you can also wind the
automatic movement by hand. A few revolutions of the crown are
enough to start the movement. However, it is better to wind the
watch by turning the crown through approximately 20 revolutions
as this will ensure maximum accuracy.
DATE SETTING
If a month has fewer than 31 days, you will need to set the date
manually to the first day of the following month. Release the
screw-in crown and pull it out to position 1. You can now set the
date by turning the crown to the left (rapid advance). You should
not use the rapid-advance function between 8 p.m. and 2 a.m.
because the movement automatically advances the date during
this period.

TIME SETTING
Pull out the crown to position 2. This will stop the movement. To
set the time accurately to the second, it is best to stop the move-
ment as the seconds hand passes 60. Now move the minute
hand a few minute strokes beyond the time to be set. Then posi-
tion the minute hand by moving it gently backwards until it is
exactly above the correct minute stroke. This ensures that the
minute hand begins to move immediately when you restart the
movement. To start the seconds hand, push in the crown to
position 0. When setting the time, please be aware of the date
change, which always takes place at 12 midnight. If this change
has already taken place at 12 noon, you must move the hands
forwards by 12 hours.
Important: Although the watch is water-resistant in positions 0,
1 and 2, the crown should always be screwed in again for normal
use (position X).
