Military chronograph with second and minute recording function. Steel case, manual wind movement. The watch was made in Switzerland but supplied by the British company CWC – Cabot Watch Company – to the Ministry of Defence. Used by Royal Air Force Pilots, the watch has MOD engravings on the back but also CAA/15. We do not know but speculate that an RAF Pilot used the watch to test fly fighter planes supplied to the MOD by British Aerospace (now BAE Systems). To do so required a CAA – Civil Aviation Authority licence.
Diameter: 38 mm.
