IWC Pilot's Mark XVI Watch, round steel case (39mm diameter, 11.5mm thickness) with screw-down crown, soft-iron inner case for protection against magnetic fields up to 80,000 A/m, black alligator leather strap, black dial with luminous hands and Arabic numerals, central hacking seconds hand, date display at 3 o'clock, 21 jewel Caliber 30110 self-winding mechanical movement with 42 hour power reserve, convex scratch-resistant sapphire crystal secured against displacement by drop in air pressure, water resistant to 60 meters.
The model that originally inspired it, the Mark 11, went on to become one of the most famous pilot?s watches of all time. Its direct predecessor, the Mark XV, has also established itself as a legend in its own right. But the Mark XVI is in no way overshadowed by its forebears. On the contrary, the 39-millimetre diameter makes the watch?s proportions look a touch more balanced. The reduced design of the dial-immediately reminiscent of an aircraft cockpit-underscores the fact that the Mark XVI is a consistent and logical extension to the ongoing Pilot?s Watch legend initiated by the Mark 11. The 30110-calibre automatic movement has a 42-hour power reserve and shows the date as well as the time. Protection against magnetic fields and a glass secured against drops in air pressure make the Mark XVI a reliable companion for everyday and extreme situations.
