Post by: Gadget on August 20, 2016, 05:49:12 AM: Hi Ray,

it's a quartz watch, the 2nd type of quartz chrono used by the RAF (I also have the 1st type), here are the MOD markings on the caseback..........

The upper two rows show the NSN code, the lower numbers show the issue number (0006) and the year of issue (96).
