I never found the perfect watch; most 'aviator' watches are a marketers idea of what a pilot would want (a tachymeter- haha; that will impress the ladies!).
Here's my wish list:
Analogue hands (easy to change time zones)
Large digital display of UTC date and time
Rotating 12 Hour bezel (so I can set departure time, if the last ten minutes/2 segments were shaded it would be handy )
Light
Usual alarm stopwatch etc
Lastly that elusive aesthetic that says 'I am a grown up professional'. Don't laugh.
Presently use a Citizen Promaster Aqualand that at least does the top two, and maybe the last. Robust but an ugly brute, and too bulky so it catches on the edge of my nav bag when I dive in there fumbling for stuff.
