Q: Which version of the IWC Pilot’s Watch Mark XVIII is this?
A: This is a 2017 IWC Pilot’s Watch Mark XVIII, reference IW327014. IWC identifies this blue-dial reference as the Edition “Le Petit Prince”. The watch’s country of origin is Switzerland.

Q: What condition is this watch in?
A: This watch is listed in Very Good Condition. The exterior has light traces of use, the internal condition is rated Very Good, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. It is a pre-owned piece, rather than an unworn watch.

Q: What size is the watch, and will it fit my wrist?
A: The case diameter is 40 mm, and IWC specifies an 11 mm case height for this reference. This particular bracelet is listed as fitting a wrist measuring 17.5 cm or smaller. Case size and bracelet fit are separate considerations, so check both before purchasing.

Q: What are the case and bracelet made from?
A: IWC specifies a stainless steel case and stainless steel bracelet for reference IW327014, paired with a blue dial. If you need a larger bracelet fit, ask whether additional links are available; their inclusion is not confirmed in the product information.

Q: Is this watch automatic, and what is its power reserve?
A: Yes. IWC specifies the automatic, self-winding calibre 30110 for this reference, with a nominal power reserve of approximately 42 hours when fully wound. This is the model specification, not a measured power-reserve result for this particular pre-owned watch.

Q: What functions and protective features does the Mark XVIII have?
A: It displays hours, minutes, central seconds and the date. Hacking seconds allows the seconds hand to stop when setting the time. IWC also specifies an anti-reflective sapphire crystal and a soft-iron inner case that helps protect the movement against magnetic fields.

Q: Does this watch come with its box and papers?
A: It is listed as a full set, with a damaged box. The individual documents and other included items are not separately itemised in the supplied product information. Please request confirmation if a particular document or item is important to you.

Q: Can I wear this watch swimming?
A: IWC specifies a 6 bar water-resistance rating for this model, but water resistance is not permanent. A current pressure-test result is not provided for this watch, so have its water resistance checked before swimming or submerging it. IWC recommends testing water resistance at least annually.

Q: Has this watch recently been serviced?
A: The product information rates its internal condition as Very Good but does not provide a service date or service record. This condition rating should not be taken as confirmation of a recent overhaul. Ask for any available service history before purchasing.
