M+ factory
IW328209 Mark 20 Titanium. Swiss Air Patrol Watch

🔴Original open mold-waste 🔴

①The first one in the market to be made with genuine grade 5 titanium material. Grade V titanium hardness is 50% higher than ordinary grade II and IV titanium; and processing and material costs are also 90% higher; at the same time, this material is available in the country for the large factory is rare; the combination of the above elements so that many peers in the market to give up this material and turn to choose grade II and IV common titanium material; and ordinary titanium material is too soft because of the nature of the toughness; the bottom cover of the deeper engraving will be jagged and can only be engraved in a shallow manner! Shell body cutting process can not be delicate and smooth processing! Grade 5 titanium hardness equivalent to 914L steel; CNC CNC process out of the case texture natural.

② the first in the market to use Swiss Swiss Super-LumiNova ® C1 luminescent material; only this material filled with the hour markers can achieve the best pure white effect. Such as the choice of other luminous materials produced out of the literal time mark is white with a little beige and thus collapse.

③ The first in the market to launch a free gift with a self-dismantling system of white or black Viton strap can be selected.

④ market no one can surpass the 12-point pyramid-shaped triangular cone three-dimensional; more pointed cone brighter and cleaner white.

I usually does not fancy any of the IWC Mark models but this Mark XX in titanium with the sun-burst dial and light weight is excellent.

If the replication is NWBIG, I will get one just to try it out.

Everything looks good to me. Even managed to do the Ease-X strap change system per gen.

Struggling to find real pictures of the watch because it's limited to 250pcs but the pics I've seen look pretty damn accurate. Caseback looks good too. Can't post the pictures of the watch in real lighting conditions here but the website is as follows :


These ones are ripped from the render

It just released... so give it 2-4 weeks for it to come.....

Do you have anything else to contribute beside asking this question? Kind of low effort

Not super low effort just nothing else to add.

contacted someone first via PM asking if they had seen them becoming available yet
looked up that 9015 movement checking it out

i've been looking at another iwc and I like this one quite a bit more so I'm quite excited about this one.

Took a quick look at the available references (not many) over the internet. Few things that standout :

1) Case back. The F5-Tiger jets and wordings seems to be lightly engraved into the caseback and painted grey in the gen. The rep looks like these are carved OUT of the caseback and not painted. However, can't be sure as I can't find any videos or photos of the actual gen watch.

2) On the dial. The "Mark XX, Automatic, Swiss Made" words are bolder on the rep and finer in the rep.

There is little to worry on #2 as the tell is not obvious especially on the wrist.

and since there's only 250 pieces, #1 should not be worried too

I’m on this bandwagon. I’ve never had a rep IWC but do have a gen DaVinci Lareus Sport Chrono which I love. So hoping this has a similar wrist feel (albeit at half the weight)!

Would love to see pictures and/or QC pictures of the first to get to it. I am very close to getting this instead of a blue mark xx by v7F.
