—Welcome to the small circle of individuals
who, if we are to be absolutely precise, demand slightly more of a watch than absolute precision. Appreciation of a watch is more than mere appreciation of the correct time. It is enthusiasm for an ingenious idea. For the interplay between precision and imagination. Between time and timelessness. Between boundaries and infinity. Between laws to which the entire world is subject, and taste, which cannot be dictated to anyone. That is why, since 1868, we have been devoting rather more of our time to watches that must not only run with absolute precision but which also, with every passing second, exert a fascination with the great achievements of master craftsmanship: a fascination with new inventions of a technical, material or formal nature, even if they are concealed in minute details that are perhaps not even visible. You are now the owner of a beautiful new example of this IWC tradition. We would like to congratulate you on your choice and send you our best wishes for the time you will spend with your watch, which perhaps cannot be described with any greater accuracy than it is here.
IWC MANAGEMENT
THE TECHNICAL REFINEMENTS OF THE PILOT'S WATCH MARK XVI FOR FATHER AND SON
Your IWC watch shows you the time in hours, minutes and seconds together with the date. The mechanical movement with automatic winding has 21 jewels (synthetic rubies) and a power reserve of approximately 42 hours when fully wound. Your Pilot's Watch Mark XVI for Father and Son is protected by a sapphire glass of hardness grade 9 on Mohs' scale. The glass is retained securely in the case at low pressure, for example when a drop in air pressure occurs at extreme altitudes. Your watch is shock-proof, antimagnetic and water-resistant 6 bar. To ensure that this extraordinary watch continues to perform faultlessly in the future, it is essential to observe a few important operating instructions.

NORMAL POSITION
This watch has a screw-in crown. Screwing the crown in to its normal position (X) prevents the inadvertent adjustment of the time or date and also acts as a double seal to prevent water from seeping into the case. To release the crown, unscrew it by turning it to the left, where it automatically assumes position 0, the winding position. By depressing the crown in position X and turning it to the right at the same time, it is screwed down firmly again and secured.
WINDING POSITION
With the crown in the winding position (0), you can also wind the automatic movement by hand. A few revolutions of the crown are enough to start the movement. However, it is better to wind the watch by turning the crown through approximately 20 revolutions as this will ensure maximum accuracy.
DATE SETTING
If a month has fewer than 31 days, you will need to set the date manually to the first day of the following month. Release the screw-in crown and pull it out to position 1. You can now set the date by turning the crown to the left (rapid advance). You should not use the rapid-advance function between 8 p.m. and 2 a.m. because the movement automatically advances the date during this period.
TIME SETTING
Pull out the crown to position 2. This will stop the movement. To set the time accurately to the second, it is best to stop the movement as the seconds hand passes 60. Now move the minute hand a few minute strokes beyond the time to be set. Then position the minute hand by moving it gently backwards until it is exactly above the correct minute stroke. This ensures that the minute hand begins to move immediately when you restart the movement. To start the seconds hand, push in the crown to position 0. When setting the time, please be aware of the date change, which always takes place at 12 midnight. If this change has already taken place at 12 noon, you must move the hands forwards by 12 hours.
Important: Although the watch is water-resistant in positions 0, 1 and 2, the crown should always be screwed in again for normal use (position X).
READING THE TIME IN THE DARK
Both the dial and the hour and minute hands of your watch have luminescent elements that allow you to read the time effortlessly, even in total darkness. The distinctive triangle at 12 o'clock serves as a reference point.
WATER-RESISTANCE
The water-resistance of IWC watches is stated in bar and not in metres. Metres, which are often used elsewhere in the watch industry to indicate water-resistance, cannot be equated with dive depth because of the test procedures that are frequently used. Water-resistance shown in metres provides no indication as to actual use of the watch in the presence of moisture and wetness, and in or under water. Recommendations for use in connection with the water-resistance of your watch can be found on the Internet at www.iwc.com/water-resistance. Your authorized IWC Official Agent will also be pleased to provide you with information.
To ensure that your watch continues to function perfectly, you should have it checked by an IWC service centre at least once a year. Your watch should also be tested after exposure to unusually harsh conditions. If the tests are not carried out as stipulated, or if the watch is opened by unauthorized persons, IWC will accept no warranty or liability claims.
Recommendation: Your authorized IWC Official Agent must carry out a water-resistance test whenever your IWC watch is opened and serviced.
NOTE
Leather is a natural and permeable material. Make sure, therefore, that the high-quality leather strap does not come into contact with water, oily substances, solvents, cleaning agents or cosmetic products. This way you can prevent discoloration and premature ageing of the material.
SERVICING YOUR PILOT'S WATCH MARK XVI FOR FATHER AND SON
Although the parts in this watch are all manufactured from top-quality materials, a number of components are subject to natural wear and tear. It is particularly important to ensure that the points at which wear occurs are always well lubricated and that oil contaminated by metal abrasion is regularly removed. For this reason, we recommend that you have your watch serviced approximately every five years. Please contact an authorized IWC Official Agent or send your watch directly to the IWC Customer Service Department in Schaffhausen.
Effective from October 2011. Technical specifications subject to change.
