Oliver, The Mark XV uses a Eta Movement modified in-house by IWC. Certainly not as good as Rolex's in-house movement's of the late 1960's. The earlier Mark XII used a very accurate JLC Movement slightly modified by IWC. Today IWC is using more and more of their Pellaton movements but it was the step away from their excellent in-house movements in the 1990's that got me going back in time to their earlier/vintage watches.
