Hello!
One of the funny things about these "pilot watches" is that we are not allowed to use them at work
. At least in our company, when completing our navigation logs and logbooks, we have to take the time as displayed by the FMS, otherwise there could be a discrepancy between the technical documentation (downloaded from the FMS by the technical staff) and our operational logs...
So I really only need a watch when I wake up at night in the hotel room ... and over the years, I have found out that it needs to be luminous to be useful. Therefore, I mostly take along one of those two watches: A "retro style" LED watch (bought for 1 Euro off eBay) or one of these Traser "Swiss military" watches with its miraculous GTLS (gaseous tritium light source) hands and indexes (around 50 Euros off Ebay...). Often I will not even wear it but keep it in the overnight bag.
Greetings, Max
