The downsides are that too many pilots have on now, so they're far from unique and although it keeps pretty good time, it wasn't as accurate at my RAF issue Seiko. I had to give mine back when I left. The RAF is the only employer in the world who takes your watch off you when you retire!


Well Dan,

Reputationwise I'm sorry I have to tell you that with an Aerospace you're way down on the list. It's even being used aft of the cockpit door!
Bought mine on a trip to Singapore years ago and have been using it ever since. I'm most thankful for the countdown timer, as it's obviously more convenient for pax to summon me to their seat and ask me what the remaining flight time is, than to check the airshow.
