Bloody aircrew watches............
What a pain in the arse. Not only did they cost a fortune if you lost one, but they were inadequate in the SH world by virtue of the fact that they didn't display the DAY as well as the DATE . If you spent days/weeks in the woods with your helicopter knowing the date was only half the requirement. I binned mine when I realised it didn't give me the whole picture and purchased a Casio - bloody marvelous and gives me all I want. I always cut off the rubber strap and thread a normal strap in its' place.
Anyone with an ounce of common sense would have bought Casios instead of those bloody awful so-called aircrew watches.
What a waste of money........I also understand that Omega used to blank out the DAY display because (totally unnecessary extra expense) some such blanket stacker or Navigator decided the aircrew didn't need to know what day it was!! Cocks!!
