What the catalog shows about IWC

At a $12,750 median it sits well up the market, against $1,435 across the catalog. The range is narrow: 85 percent of what the guide holds from it is pilot watches. It states a standard alloy grade on just 8 percent of its titanium, against 41 percent across the catalog, so its range is largely titanium of undisclosed grade. Everything the guide holds from it is mechanical.
