The Midsize model is a new addition to the big ? in every sense of the word ? pilot?s watch segment. With a diameter of 34 mm, it is the smallest pilot?s watch form IWC and ideal for the slimmer wrist. Optically speaking, it is a scaled-down version of the Mark XVI, meaning it has all the features you would expect of a genuine pilot?s watch: it is robust and precise; and the dial, in keeping with various military stipulations, is matt black with luminescent hands and numerals, as well as the special marking at 12 o?clock. And from a technical point of view, the Midsize does not need to shy from comparison with its big brother. Despite having a 5 mm smaller case, it has exactly the same features, including an automatic winding system, a soft-iron inner case for protection against magnetic fields and a date display.
