In an ever-shrinking world, propelled by the marvels of aviation, pilots demanded watches of uncompromising caliber. The stakes were high, and these timepieces needed to endure the harshest of challenges - from the extremities of temperature to magnetic forces and relentless vibrations. The mandate was clear: absolute precision and unwavering durability were imperative. A testament to the relentless pursuit of excellence and a symbol of reassurance for those who dared to explore the skies. The Mark XII is arguably one of the most coveted iterations due to its highly wearable and discrete proportions. At 36mm the case fits perfectly for active wear in the field and this example comes with the desirable "beads of rice" bracelet which is extremely comfortable on wrist. This piece also remains in fantastic neo-vintage condition with a mint dial/hand set that have aged to an attractive "buttermilk" patina.
