At 39mm, its a great size for daily wear and we prefer it over the current 40mm Mark XVIII. It will even slide under the cuff of a dress shirt or blazer, so don't be afraid to dress it up. When clients request a sub-$3,000 modern watch that they can wear daily, the versatile IWC Mark XVI is always on our short list.
