Compared to the Mark XII model, the pilot’s watch Mark XV is 2 mm larger and features an ETA-based calibre. Otherwise, the design is almost identical.
This Mark XV dating from 1999 comes from the original owner and shows some signs of wear. The original Tritium dial is in excellent condition, the 3 o’clock hour marker and the hands have acquired a gentle custard-coloured hue.
