Review and Comparison: IWC Pilot's Watch Mark XVIII Heritage Series IW327006 Titanium Wristwatch from M+ Taiwan Factory Debut

The IWC Pilot IW327006 model is produced by the leading Super Clone manufacturer workshops with a 5th class titanium case, standard case diameter and high precision automatic Super Clone movement architecture. It is among the most successful 1:1 super clone watch reviews on the market, with its sapphire crystal AR coating glass, original case tolerances and detailed workmanship.

Redefined Mark XVIII Heritage model IW327006

❶ Movement: Cal.35111 is written in the movement description on IWC's official website. However, stating this as Cal.30110 in some watch media is a serious carelessness and typo. I can make this determination as someone who purchased the original Mark XVIII in at least 6 different models.

Case and Body Workmanship

M+ Taiwan factory has successfully produced Cal.35111 itself, based on the same main body as the original, using the technical and mature experience it has gained by modifying movements for various brands abroad for years. After long and rigorous testing, it has reached the original level, whether in terms of sensitivity or power endurance.

❷ Case, case back, buckle and crown

The case body, buckle and crown of this IW327006 are made of the same titanium material as the original [divided into white titanium and titanium alloy], rare material called titanium alloy; Then, a layer of micron-diameter diamond particles is coated on it and a real anti-fingerprint galvanization process is applied. Among titanium, the cost of white titanium is relatively lower, but its hardness is not suitable for cutting to create sharp diamond lines; Titanium alloy, on the other hand, is more suitable for revealing the spring lines perfectly.

It also has the features of being extremely light and extremely hard, resistant to corrosion and non-allergic to the skin; That's why it is increasingly used in wristwatches.

When the four most important lugs of the case are placed on the flat glass, they are all on the same plane. Very meticulous, hidden and tiny chamfers have been applied to the contours of the ear rim [it is really difficult to do this workmanship perfectly]. This feature can be examined with a high magnification lens: all the cases are identical, with sharp lines but the surface is not worn; When viewed from the side, the case body is smooth and its spring does not bear the slightest trace of interruption. Everything consists of perfect dots and lines that fit perfectly into the aesthetics; It fully reflects the harsh character that the designer wanted to bring to the Mark Pilot Heritage series. All of these form requirements are completed in one go on a synchronized five-axis CNC machine.

❸ Dial surface, hour and minute hands, glass

The IW327006 is the only model in the entire Mark XVIII series where all hour markers are illuminated with lume; In particular, the pyramid-shaped triangular conical lume at 12 o'clock is three-dimensional and linear and is not something that an ordinary factory can produce. The hour and minute hands were processed using the bluing technique and then filled with lume; The slightly glowing green light complements each other with the lume on the dial surface and lasts for a long time. Only lume dye truly from Switzerland can achieve this effect. When examined under the lens, the fonts are smooth and burr-free, and the lume on the hour and minute hands shows no black and white defects.

Glass and Sapphire Crystal

Used high-quality sapphire glass, treated with a double-layer light blue anti-reflective coating; By coating an additional lens film in the same way as the original, 99.9% full light transmittance is achieved, just like a camera lens.

Everything is assembled in a truly dust-free workroom; So much so that even a single dust particle appears the size of a ping-pong ball when reflected on the computer screen with a high magnification lens.

❹ Leather strap, spring bar, canvas strap

It uses slightly thicker spring bars with a special bipolar structure, with a small amount of solid lubricant added, like Rolex's spring bars. Thus, both smooth operation and never-breakage workmanship quality are achieved; At the same time, it does not make that "creaking" sound that bothers you the most while wearing it.

Strap, Buckle and Comfort

In the leather strap, the glass fiber currently used by Hermès is taken as the inner core and covered with imported first-class calfskin; Only in this way can the experience of being both thick, flexible and soft, and not smelling or cracking when worn for a long time be achieved.

At the same time, today's most popular NATO military style canvas strap is produced by coating non-pilling foreign canvas fabric on natural calfskin; It offers you a much more colorful, fashionable vitality!

The leather strap is accompanied by an 18 mm titanium alloy buckle.

The NATO canvas strap is accompanied by a 20 mm steel buckle.

The spring bar dimensions of the two belts are also different from each other...

❺ Each watch has its own independent number; This number is not only on the case back, but also on the IWC-specific anti-counterfeiting warranty card. When the anti-counterfeiting tape is gently peeled off, the same anti-counterfeiting English letters appear as the original. The serial number on the label is the same as the serial number on the back of the case. You can query the serial number record by calling IWC's special phone line for all watches sold.

❻ Weight of IW327006 with strap: 57~59g, the same as the original… This is also currently the most intuitive verification method of authorized dealer sales personnel, namely "weighing".

❻ When you purchase the Mark XVIII Pilot Heritage series from M+ watch, please check carefully whether it has the above features; Verify that the warranty card number has an anti-counterfeiting label when gently peeled off and that the number matches the number of your watch.

❼ The M+ watch team is obsessed with the perfection of the product, just like you; We consider even the slightest detail defect as a faulty product. That's why we check it many times before production... Everything will not disappoint your expectations.

Finally, let's look at the real shooting photos of Mark XVIII
