If I was the OP I'd look at the IWC Mark XV Fliegeruhr, Ref 3253, and, if it has to be a chrono, the corresponding IWC Flieger Chrono Ref 3706. Both are timeless classics from a brand well known for its Flieger pieces and within budget. I would stay clear of their more recent offerings though as the brand very much lost it after being bought by Richemont in the early 2000s...


Many thanks, will take a look.
