Up for grabs is my IWC Pilot’s Watch Mark XVIII. This is a no-nonsense, highly legible flieger. The opaline silver dial is almost white and makes the painted indices pop.

Condition: Overall very good. Two things of note. There is a scratch on the top left side of the case near the 9 o’clock position. I’ve taken a close up photo of that. The other is that the strap has some wear but lots of life left. Keeping excellent time.

Scope of delivery: Watch and travel case. There is a photocopy of…

Hey Watchexchange!

Up for grabs is my Monta Atlas. This watch doesn’t need any explanation here. A few things to point out. One there’s no bracelet. But it comes with a bunch of after market straps including 2 Horus fitted end straps (the Rolex Submariner model). Two the box is slightly damaged but it doesn’t affect opening and closing.

Condition: Overall good condition. There are some scratches on the case and bezel as shown. It’s keeping good time at around -3 spd. The box has a crack…

I want to start off by saying I love this watch and don’t want to sell it. As someone in materials science I have a deep appreciation for how Oris used an innovative laser‑based technique, developed in collaboration with a research lab at ETH Zürich, marking a first in watchmaking. Instead of pigments, the bare titanium surface is micro‑etched by laser to manipulate light: it suppresses red wavelengths while reflecting green and blue, creating a subtle iridescent gradient that shifts between…

I understand that this watch isn’t for everyone but kollokium does have a strong design language. Let me start off my saying that I like the watch. If I keep it, I’d pair it with a different strap. It is a bold expression of neubrutalist design, merging industrial aesthetics with meticulous craftsmanship. Limited to 499 pieces across the E1 and E2 series , this timepiece stands out with its distinctive dial and robust construction and sold out quickly.

At the heart of the E1 is a…
