Mark said the nations, it is a huge family, but it is worth mentioning that from 1936 the first international pilot was born, to 2016 of the nations listed Mark eighteen, eighty years, a total of eighteen Mark? Of course not, so here is the focus of the nations: Mark is from the beginning of the Kejiu ma! And there are no Mark thirteen and fourteen in the middle!
Mark is Mark, because before eight Mark launched, but not from the world. Mark basically has no picture information, it is said that only in the British Defense Department Quartermaster history file can be found, Mark's first appearance in 1900 December. Mark two also not to go, Mark army appeared in March 1903 two, its manufacturers went bankrupt in quartz during the storm. So many people think that this is Mark unified the British Ministry of defense proposed to the munitions supplier, and according to their own habits of the army named Mark XXX.
And so on, until Mark, eight, basically has nothing to do with the nations, because Mark, the kingdom of all nations, began with "nine". And what about Mark thirteen and fourteen? Entirely because of superstition! It is said that there is no such two models because foreigners hate "thirteen", and Chinese hate "fourteen""! However, from the side to prove that China is relatively early, it is already a battleground!
In 1936, the nations made a family by a pilot wrist watch, and the collectors in the industry named it "Ma Kejiu" Four years later, the British Ministry of Defense issued a new standard W.W.W. military watch (waterproof watch acronym), and signed with 12 manufacturers, production of the new military watch, this military watch, known as Mark 10. Among them, in addition to all countries, there are also Jaeger Le Coulter, Longines, OMEGA and other watchmaking brands. If someone will these twelve Mark ten collection complete, will unlock achievement The Dirty Dozen. It is said that only about eleven lucky people should now unlock this achievement.
Say so, so many Mark, how only then eleven and eighteen are so close? This has to say that Mark eleven super standby. In 1940 the launch of a precision navigation Big Pilot (52 T. S. C.), a large 55 mm diameter table and its instrument appearance make this watch quickly became a fashion icon, then also inspired the classic pilot (although he says that all nations, but decided to keep a bit). It was this iconic watch that inspired Wan Guobiao's Mark eleven watch.
With the inspiration of the older generation, the world's Mark eleven started production in 1948, which should be recognized by all nations as a model Mark. At the same time, Mark eleven could be regarded as one of the most famous pilots in the world. It was originally produced for the Royal Air force. Compared to the scarcity of Mark ten, until 1984 to stop production, has been used for more than 30 years, Mark eleven can be said to be long standby, and its inventory is quite impressive.
Mark eleven in 1988 completely shut down, not only that, the British state-owned enterprises are gradually privatized, the government departments of unified purchasing behavior is gradually weak. As the Mark series stopped production, its history as a military custom watch for the British Defense Ministry ended.
In 1992, the nations began the manufacture of Mark again, and thus Mark twelve. Although Mark eleven and Mark ten are very similar in design, but in the subsequent design, Mark have also undergone different changes: some remove the digital timescale, and some date shows become fan-shaped, and so on. It was not until Mark eighteen in 2016 that the kingdoms restored the original version of Mark to the greatest extent.
The Mark eighteen and the triangle mark were re placed under the circle of minutes, the figures were slightly bold, and the five minute scale became more slender. The watch features a single digit date display with a week, and the mini five minute digits on the outer minute circle are also omitted. The overall watch is strikingly similar to the original watch of 1940. Pilot Chronograph Watch
Although not yet waiting for Mark nineteen, but in July 1st this year, the world will launch the Mark eighteen IW327007 watch, in order to salute Mark eleven. To commemorate the 1948 launch of Mark eleven, the new Mark eighteen will be limited to 1948 sales, the current price of 4790 euros, equivalent to RMB, about 37 thousand yuan.
As for this simple function, but memorable Mark eighteen whether it is worth the price, but also to see everyone's mood. But this watch is on sale in July, but is at Harrods in london. If it's sold globally, at least wait until October!
