Casio G-Shock GW3500

Check out the Casio G-Shock GW3500 or GW2500.

It can display three time zones simultaneously. I have local time on the main dial, UTC on the LCD inset, and time back home on the small dial. When going on a trip, a few days before departure I set the small dial to the time of destination and start to adjust sleep patterns towards that time. Once in the air, a couple of button presses swaps the time between small dial and big dial, so I now have destination time on the big dial and home time on the small dial. UTC is permanently displayed (or can be toggled to date with a button touch).

Add to that, 200m waterproof, solar powered, and radio-time signalled controlled, it is a super time piece for a pilot.

The GW3500 can even take 12g, and even if it exceeds that, the hands can reset themselves automatically. The GW2500 has a lower g tolerance, and requires manual reset if exceeded - but I have not needed to do it yet.

It is virtually indestructible - I have had mine for six years or so and have hardly ever removed it from my wrist.
