Firth..I think you forgot to list this one as 'For Sale'!! :-)

What would have this watch been used for?

Its Official name was 'Type A-15 Elapsed Time Watch'

Pilot Navigation.

The Watch belongs to a member of MWR but I felt it worthy of the database.

You must have got a hold of Ken. He could pull documents out of the air I think.

Recognise the scratched roman numerals on the inside of the case back?

XXXX   III = 1943.

Aha... so perhaps a 1943 case with a 1944 movement?  That fits with everything in the thread too.

Good job seeing those Roman numerals.
