An old pair
My wife stopped wearing hers long time ago, but I am wearing mine regularly. I believe Mark XII doesn't get enough credit: design taking queues from its military predecessors (except unfortunately the date), JLC movement, extremely comfortable bracelet. My only regret about mine, is that I allowed IWC to swap hands as part of regular service 20 years ago. Otherwise it is still perfect.

Wonderfull watch,- and quite a good buy IMHO.

Mk XII
My first ‘nice’ watch was a MkXII from Austin Kaye, The Strand, London (late 90s?), I wish though that it didn’t have the date, it would have made more sense as a pilots watch to me.
There was a version without a date
LE of 100 in titanium for an Italian retailer. AFAIK the downside was that it used ETA movement instead of JLC
Cheers
Thank you MrkK for that info, first time I have heard of that one. I had a quick look online, I don’t like the yellow seconds hand, yeah, I’m picky!
