In this episode of "What Is On My Wrist" Cam talks about a fan favorite. The IWC Mark 11 (Ref. 6B/346). Mk. XI was a watch born out of rigorous specifications and necessity. As the British Ministry of defense came to realize after the issuance of the famed “Dirty Dozen” timepieces, they came to the conclusion that these watches just weren’t accurate or durable enough for their pilots. So in 1947, the British Ministry of Defense created the 6B/346 navigation watch standard which became known as Mk. XI. Both IWC and JLC produced watches under the 6B/346 specification. The JLC Mk. XI was discontinued in 1953 and IWC then become the sole supplier, outfitting RAF Pilot’s until the watches were decommissioned in 1981.

In this episode of "What Is On My Wrist" Cam takes us through an interesting Daytona Ref 6265 from 1974. This 1974 Daytona Ref. 6265 example, often referred to as a "ROC" dial and also as a "Big Eyes" Daytona. This is an early dial variant that only bears the words Rolex Oyster Cosmograph and lacks the red Daytona text above the 6 o'clock subdial. The nickname "Big Eyes" was coined by Rolex collectors to highlight the fact that the chronograph counters of this type of dial are larger than normal.
