IMHO
Get yourself a watch with a clean readout - a dark face with large, luminous numerals and hands that mark the hour, minutes and seconds.
If you plan on marking up your logbook with UTC, then it might be an idea to have that option on it as well.
Some like it added as another hour hand like on the Torgoen T5 (shown below)
or you could go for the T6 which has a flight computer bezel (which, trust me, you will never use!)
This watch is just too busy for my liking.
This is a T6:
They have also brought out a T8 - it's a nice concept but I'm still out on it.

You could also go all digital.
The Casio Pro Trek range are good and I use one with a World Time feature as I am jumping zones a lot.
To be honest, a "pilot's" watch is just a gimmick. Just go with what you like and what suits your style.
I am a victim for watches though......
I have a T5 for flying
A Pro Trek for outdoor sports
A Suunto for running
An old retro Casio G-Shock that I drag out when I'm being manly and building something.
And an Omega Planet Ocean for formal wear. (It was a gift. I could never justify one when the IR is still undone!)
