IWC Mark XVI
I love this watch!
The Mark series of watches were created as life saving tools for aviators, designed in accordance with military specifications and nowadays have reached a cult status that few wristwatches attain. More reading you can find here, http://monochrome-watches.com/an-ode...c-mark-series/ |

Great link - thanks for sharing. I enjoyed reading it.
Agree that is a great looking watch. I am often drawn to the IWC Mark XVI. Great dimensions and a classic simplicity that just works! |

Great under the radar piece and possibly the most legible watch I have ever owned.

I thought the dial was black but looks blue in certain light due to the anti reflective coating?
