Have had a Breitling foryears before I learned to fly, mines a chronomat however I realised I needed something with big bold fingers and numbers with a stopwatch you cant miss so bought a U-Boat, nice watches, very in fasion at the minute, cheaper than Breitling but very, very functional and visible. In my experience the fine detail and ornate nature of the Breitling makes it less functional, yes lovely to wear a 5 grand watch but not practical!
Have a look, these things are beasts, have a good swiss movement and also these early ones will be worth a bit in years to come.
