For many, a good watch represents good times, and nowhere is it more true than in the case of IWC Pilot’s Watch Mark XVIII Edition “Laureus Sport for Good Foundation”. Since 2005, IWC has been honouring and supporting the organisation by releasing special edition watches, part of which proceeds are donated to the foundation. Laureus Sport for Good is an establishment that works for disadvantaged children and adolescents using sport as a channel of change. For the 12th edition released in 2018, IWC picked its popular Pilot’s Mark XVIII with a 41mm ceramic case. It is finely designed with thin lugs and elegant curves. The watch is worn on an embossed leather strap secured by a buckle.

This special edition timepiece carries the characteristic Mark XVIII look with a blue dial, representing the colour of Laureus. It is equipped with notable, luminous Arabic numeral hour markers and luminous hands. The date window is positioned at three. The unique character of this Mark XVIII is visible on the caseback that carries a special engraving featuring a drawing submitted during the annual drawing competition hosted by IWC with the Laureus Sport for Good Foundation.

At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
