Something simple
Hi Sternone,
I have a Lorus.
It cost about AUD19 and claims to be waterproof – but it possibly isn’t.
My Lorus keeps time very accurately, like all quartz watches, and it has a large luminous analogue display with a sweep second hand that I can easily read in a dark cockpit. My Lorus has nothing else: no multi function digital display, no compass, no altimeter, no GPS, no EPIRB, no rotating bezel, calculator or circular ‘sly drool’, not even a circadian rhythm analyzer.
I’ve been flying for over thirty years so I guess my Lorus is a ‘real pilot’s watch’. And in some places I’ve worked raskals & armed gangs target watches, wallets and jewelry and these folk are welcome to have my Lorus.
Besides, I was told early on in my career that a pilot’s skill/experience/ability is inversely proportional to the speed that she taxys and the size of his wristwatch.
Cheers!
