Made by V7 factory, ZF and M+F made this replica watch before, the watch is made with real blue ceramic material, it comes with a blue nylon band, the outside material is nylon, the back side is blue rubber that feels very soft and comfortable to wear. The entire ceramic case is matte finished.
Mark is the most basic Pilot watch of IWC, it has the very basic functions for a watch, the hours, minutes, seconds and date. It is exactly such simple design that makes Mark series popular among all other IWC models. In replica watch industry, the first Mark series watch that raised a sales storm is Mark XVI, which was made by MK factory at that time, now this watch has been out of stock for a long time. In recent years, some new factories appeared, and M+F is a new factory that also makes good quality replica IWC watches. This time, they brought us the new IW327007 that pays tribute to Mark XI. There are two models, one is with black nylon strap, the other is with a olive green nato band.
Maybe it is not suitable for some people who are looking for watches with 38mm or 39mm case. The case diameter of this IWC is up to 41mm, but the case is thin, which is only 11mm. Like genuine, the watch is made of 316L stainless steel, the case is brushed, case back is solid and engraved with “TRIBUTE TO MARK XI” and “ONE OF 1948”.
The dial is the biggest highlight of the watch. It is black with white Arabic numeral markers. The bar-shaped hour markers, including the triangle mark at 12 o’clock, are applied with beige luminous material, which look a bit vintage. The hour hand is also different from the hand of other Mark series watches, this one has a hour hand with flat tip, it looks very unique. Please note, under the beige hour marker at 6 o’clock, there are printings “SWISS” in white color. Date font is updated upon other versions of Mark series watch, now the date font is exactly the same as genuine.
The replica watch is equipped with a black nylon strap, under the outside nylon, there is black leather that will contact your skin. Now a lot of military watch brands adopt this design on the band, they cover the nylon material above the leather strap, which can not only bring wearing comfort, but also looks very cool. About the model with green nylon band, the backside material is brown leather.
Both watches are equipped with stable Asia ETA 2892 automatic movement. The inaccuracy is controled within several seconds, it is also one of the Asia automatic movements that have the fewest repairing rate.
Pilot’s watch is carrying men’s aviation dream, Top Guna and Spitfire automatic watches do not have complicated functions, but their simple design perfectly fits the professional image of pilot’s watch, not only has cool appearance, but is for all-purpose, whether it is for formal clothes or casual suits, Top Gun is very suitable.
M+F is a new watch team, they built this replica watch, the case of Top Gun adopts matte black ceramic, which is very hard and highly scratch resistant, genuine Top Gun IW326901 uses Ceratanium material, which is a combination of ceramic and titanium, Ceratanium has the advantages of both ceramic and titanium, unfortunately the replica does not use this material, hope V6 or ZF factory can use genuine material in their IW326901 editions. M+F team bought a genuine watch from Basel exhibition, the case is completely disassembled so the replica can be made to be perfect, put the replica and genuine watch flat on the desk, you will find that both watches have the same arc degree.
White markers and hands forms a distinct contrast with the black dial, which not only brings a strong visual impact, but also increases the readability of the whole watch. Both stick hour markers and Arabic numbers on the black dial are applied with superlumed material, they have a strong green lume light in dark conditions. It looks like a high-contrast dial is necessary for most military watches.
M+F team installed a clone IWC 35111 movement for this watch, which is based on an Asia ETA 2892 automatic movement. It is said that each movement has been tested for 90 days before being assembled, to ensure few inaccuracy issues of each watch. IW326901 replica is equipped with a black nylon strap, which is in line with the military style of the whole watch. Besides, the nato strap with black and white stripes is also available for the watch. Detailed specification of the watch is shown below.

Pilot is a big series of IWC, sometimes I think it is more popular than Portuguese. Spitfire is a sub-series of IWC Pilot, it is loved by many watch fans due to its sporty outlook. Many materials have been used on the case of IWC Pilot Spitfire, including stainless steel, ceramic and titanium, but today, it is my first time to see a IWC watch made of bronze material. Actually bronze has already been used in watch industry, as you know, some popular models like Panerai PAM 382 and Zenith Pilot. Bronze could be easily oxidized, but it is exactly the oxidation process that offers a lot of fun for our wearers.
Today, I want to show you an unique replica watch made by XF factory. It is a replica IWC Spitfire watch, which is made of bronze in case and bezel. Besides the bronze material, the watch also has another great feature, it is the UTC display, you can see it from the green dial, it it shown under the big triangle mark at 12 o’clock.
The case is 39mm in diameter, compared with other sporty brand watches, it looks a bit smaller, but it can absolutely fit the wrist of most men’s wrist. The case is measured to be in only 10mm, not too thick like sports watches of other Swiss brands. The entire case is brushed, case back is solid but not made with bronze, it is stainless steel, there is an airplance on the center of the case back, look at the case back, it has a sandblasted finish.
Green dial is the best match for the bronze case. There are Swiss lume material applied on hands and hour markers at 3, 6, 9 and 12 o’clock. The green light emitting from the dial is really strong, after absorbing enough light during the day, the watch can offer you a great lume in the dark conditions and you can read the time from the dial more convenient.
Brown leather strap is in line with the bronze tone of the case. The leather band is made with genuine calf skin leather imported from Italy. The leather band is fitted with a tang buckle, which is also made with bronze and brushed. The buckle is deeply engraved with lettering “IWC”.
Inside the case, the movement is an Asia clone ETA 2836-2 automatic, it is a very stable automatic movement that has been widely used in our industry. The replicas with basic functions like hours, minutes, seconds and date are more willing to use this movement. By the way, the replica watch is water resistant to 30 meter.
ZF factory has published a lot of new IWC replica watches in recent days, including the Pilot Chrono, Portuguese Annual Calendar, etc. There are a lot of pilot’s watches made by different brands, but my most favorite one is made by IWC, especially the Top Gun model, it is even the love of many military watch fans. Here I want to introduce the latest replica IWC Top Gun watch from ZF factory, its reference number is IW389001. The watch is made of real ceramic material and is fitted with a nylon band, the watch is in entire black color, which looks very cool.
The ceramic case is measured to be 44mm in diameter and 17mm thick. The ceramic case is brushed, the matt finish of the case feels very well. The case is completely made according to genuine watch, not only the same in material, but also has a 1:1 construction. The natural streamlined case design looks graceful, crown and chronograph buttons are also in brushed, which is corresponding to the case finish. Case back uses solid stainless steel and has correct engravings, especially the “TOP GUN” engravings on the center, are delicately crafted.
Black dial is covered by sapphire crystal that features AR Coating. All hour markers on the black dial are in white color. Big Arabic numerals with wide bar-shaped markers, they offer the wearer a good readability together. A eye-catching small second hand in red color is on the subdial at 6 o’clock. At 12 o’clock, there are dual subdials for 12-hour and 60-minute chronograph display. Two small hands on that dual subdial work the same way as genuine.
The replica watch is equipped with an Asia Valjoux 7750 movement, it is a watch with real chronograph function. The mechanism is based on a chronograph movement of famous Shanghai Watch Factory in China. To reduce the chance of being repaired, I recommend you do not use the chronograph function too often.
At last, it is about the band, which is made of nylon on the outside and genuine leather on the side that touches your skin. The outside black nylon material keeps its cool appearance, while the leather on the back side guarantees a good wearing comfort. Nowadays, a lot of Swiss watches adopt this design in their band.
Today, a lot of brand replica watches are made by formal big factories, and the replica IWC from ZF factory will not disappoint you.
Pilot is a big series of IWC, it contains a lot of classic models. Big Pilot Le Petit Prince and Mark series are highly welcomed, they are also very hot in replica watch industry. V6 and ZF are two main factories in our market that make good quality replica IWC watches, compared with both factories, ZF has a richer experience, after all V6 is more good at Hublot replicating. So, whether you want a Portuguese or Pilot, I recommend you buy from ZF.
This Pilot chrono watch is an anniversary model which IWC published in recent years, ZF made this model in last year, it is not a common IWC Pilot watch, I think the main reason why ZF replicated this watch is that the watch has a beautiful dial, not because it is an anniversary model. Since its release online, not many people are willing to buy this replica, because their attention is paid to another important models like Mark XVIII and Pilot Prince. However, the truth is it has a very high quality could not be denied.
The following is the basic details of the replica:
Movement: Asia Valjoux 7750 Chronograph
Case: 43mm*15mm, Solid 316L Stainless Steel, Brushed
Crystal: Sapphire with Swiss Standard AR Coating
Dial: White with Green Superlume on Markers and Hands
Bracelet: Black Calf Leather Strap with Embossed Croc Patterns
Water Resistant: 30m
See the details above, the watch does not look that special. While my attention is always focused on its white dial, which gathers black and blue elements, has a high readability. There are Arabic numeral and bar-shaped hour markers in black, which are constrasting with white main dial. The blue color used on central big hands and small hands of subdials enhances vigour of the whole dial. Three bar-shaped markers in white color at 3, 6 and 9 o’clock as well as the big triangle marker at 12 o’clock are applied with Swiss luminous material. In the dark, the four markers will emit a strong green light that could lasts long. From the dial, you will know all functions of the replica, including real chronograph. Sunken subdials are delicately crafted, the day and date could be adjusted via crown on right side of the case.
Case back has correct engravings, the center has letters engraving of “150 YEARS” in sandblasted background, which forms a strong contrast with the brushed finish on other part of the case back. This shows the exquisite craftsmanship of the ZF factory. Behind the back, the mechanism driven inside is an Asia Valjoux 7750, which is newly improved and has become the second generation of Valjoux 7750 chronograph movement that now is widely used in moderate quality Daytona replicas.
I love the several tints of blue on the dial, it fascinates me.
IWC is one of my most favorite brands which I will choose to wear as a dress watch. Its Pilot, Portofino and Portuguese are very popular, they are also replicated by a lot of watch manufacturers in our market. Among all Pilot’s watches from IWC, the best-selling ones are Big Pilot Prince and Mark series models. There are several generations of IWC Mark from XVI to XVIII, today, there are still a lot of watch fans who love IWC Mark XVI. Mark XVIII was just published by IWC, two years ago, right? This watch has inherited the classic design of Mark XVI, but it has not reached the same sales height. I do not know any new features used on Mark XVIII. In the past, MK factory made a replica IWC Mark XVI and it became their best seller, afterwards, MK released several new improved editions of Mark XVI, now the ultimate edition of IWC Mark XVI replica has been out of stock, you can not buy it online, but if you have a secret contact with the boss of MK factory, you can get one. About this IWC Mark XVIII replica I am going to review, it is not made by MK or V6, I got this watch from a store in the morning, they did not tell me the factory which the watch came from, but it uses a genuine Swiss ETA 2892 movement.
The factory bought a genuine IWC Mark XVIII watch, all watch parts are disassembled and then perfectly cloned, this is the only replica watch with all components that could be interchanged with original. The case is made of 316L stainless steel and measured to be 40mm in diameter, case thickness is only 11mm. The case is fully brushed with smoothly polished bezel, touch the case corner and edge, you will not get any scratch feeling because the case has a polished edge. There are six notches on the case back for you to open the back with a special tool. An airplance is on the center of the back, it is the classic logo of IWC Pilot. The outer edge of the case back is polished, which forms a high contrast with the brushed center.
The replica watch has a black dial. Mark series has the simplest and most elegant dial among all Pilot’s watches. Like other Pilot’s Mark watches, this Mark XVIII’s dial has a very simple design, but the dial readability is good. A lot of Pilot’s watches from other Swiss brands also refer to the dial design of IWC Mark series because it is so classic. White hour markers on black dial increase the readability of whole dial, the square markers at 3, 6, 9 and triangle mark at 12 are applied with white luminescence, so, four hour markers on the dial will emit a strong green light, so are hour and minute hand.
The band is made of genuine calf skin leather, it is black on the outside, while the back side that touches your skin is in orange color. The whole leather band has black hand stitching. The pin buckle is perfectly molded, clean appearance with obvious edges and corners. The buckle has a brushed surface on the front, while its edge is smoothly polished. The lettering “IWC” is deeply engraved on the buckle. The back of the steel buckle also has correct engravings.

Pilot watch is another type of military watch, although not as popular as those watches made for the navy, they have some stunning features and are also known as the pioneer of military watch. Bell Ross is a very famous pilot watch brand, IWC also developed their Pilot series and unveiled a lot of classic watches, both have fine watches and also good replicas, I love them. The Pilot watch I am going to introduce today is from Zenith, which is not a very famous brand I think, but this Type 20 Pilot Extra Special catches my attention, it has a big case, a big crown and extremely exaggerated arabic numeral markers. While the watch discussed below is a replica made by XF, which is also known as V6 or KW, the replica watch is completely made according to the requirement of our watch fans, because a lot of people in some watch forums discussed this watch before and asked when there will be a factory willing to replicate this Zenith Type 20 Pilot Extra Special, after half of one year, the replica was produced out by V6 factory.
The Zenith Pilot replica watch has a big case, actually the case diameter is not very large, only in 45mm. It is exactly the large onion-shaped crown that makes the 45mm case look bigger. And the big crown is very convenient for you to operate, easy to rotate. Case is brushed, on the left side, there are black engravings, on this replica watch, they are “HB – 0710”, I do not know the meaning of these engravings. Four lugs are fixed on the case by screws, lugs are curved so making the case fit your wrist perfectly. Case back has a unqiue embossment, the pattern is a airplane with a flag. On the polished edge of the back, there are correct engravings like genuine Zenith Pilot watch.
Black dial is the brightest spot of the replica. Big Arabic hour markers in white are luminous. The cathedral hands are also a big feature. Both hands and hour markers are filled with Swiss lume, which will offer a strong green light in dark condition. Five-star Zenith logo in stainless steel is three-dimensional. The printings of “EXTRA SPECIAL” and 60-minute markers are in brown color, which exactly echo with the brown leather strap.
The replica watch is equipped with one pair of brown leather straps. Its distressed look has a similar style with Panerai’s ASSO leather band. The brushed buckle, which has a three-dimensional five-star logo, looks like Panerai’s Pre-V style buckle. Do you agree? before make a purchase, please read its specification below.
