My Seiko ex RAF chronometer bought 15 years ago (I took the non-poxy webbing strap option and bought it with a chrome strap) is still going strong.

It is available now from Pulsar (same movement/appearance: just doesn't have a 24 hr dial) . I bought one from Daily Telegraph shop £50.00 ish last year.

Advantages of both: Black face, numbers instead of batons, lack of totally impractical twiddly calculator/whizzwheel, easy stopwatch and luminous digits that you could fry eggs on.

Disadvantages: small and insignificant: will not act as a totty magnet all crowding round you to ask if you are a pilot: does not disguise small willy.
