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.
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. M...
Wonderfull watch,- and quite a good buy IMHO.

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
