watches -

I spent months looking around for a suitable 'pilots watch'..


In the end I plumped for a £35 Sekonda - model 3341. ( Black face silver bezel)


Supremely easy to read - to pinpoint exact minutes and a big face.
The vast majority of 'pilot watches' are worn by wannabees and 99% of their functions are of no practical use.( that's the watch not the wannabees,,,)


Forget the rubbish on here about batteries running out - that happens maybe once every 2 years and the average PPL is flying for perhaps 40 hours / year.
..So I make that less than 1 in 400 chance
