The Mark 11, of which it is a direct descendent, was one of the most famous pilot?s watches of all time. In September 2000, its immediate predecessor, the Mark XV, emerged triumphant from a gruelling flight suitability test against ten of the best pilot?s watches available conducted by Germany?s best-known watch magazine. And now the Mark XVI is a worthy successor. The one millimetre increase in diameter to 39 mm gives the watch an altogether more balanced appearance. 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, a glass secured against drops in pressure and water-resistance to 60 m make the Mark XVI a reliable companion for everyday and extreme situations.
