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.

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.

love the Mark series of watches. I've been tempted to source a XVI for myself.

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