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.
