Original specifications
Sizes and specifications apply to the version named below. Other versions can differ.
IWC Mark X W.W.W. M17449 / civilian 1136429, circa 1945
Exact M17449 IWC Mark X / W.W.W., civilian ref. 1136429, circa 1945. Only case width is currently supported for this exact watch; other WWW case numbers are retained as non-transferable comparisons. New 1945 W.W.W. generation evidence comes from distinct Cal. 83 case serials M15809 and M16457. Added measurements are explicitly scoped as generation-level claims, not physical M17449 readings. L2L remains open because reported original examples differ. Watch.de M15809 and S.Song M16457 measurements remain comparison observations only. The different case numbers and absent common-geometry evidence do not support transferring thickness or lug width to M17449.

IWC Mark X W.W.W. NATO-dial specimen, Vintage Watch Specialist SKU vws2341 (case serial not stated)
A separately scoped original IWC Mark X W.W.W. specimen with a NATO replacement dial, VWS SKU vws2341. The listing gives no individual M-number or civilian case serial. Do not merge its dimensions into the exact M17449 record. Added case-height evidence is from distinct IWC W.W.W. M15809, circa 1945, Cal. 83. It is a same-generation comparison, not a direct measurement of SKU vws2341. Watch.de M15809 case-height claim remains a comparison observation only. The source identifies a different case serial and does not establish the VWS watch has the same case geometry.
