AZ,
IIRC the Pulsar was withdrawn from Issue as the crown was prone to falling out and constituted a FOD hazard in cockpits.
I lost my Pulsar Chrono, however it wasnt worth a penny, let alone over £200. An awful watch.

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!!

y bars were all closed?
Re the Casio half hour warning; when I left and went to fly BEA Viscounts, we had a kitchen timer glued to the panel to remind us to balance the fuel.
Simple and effective.
I've gone around the world for about 20 years using a Casio AQ-426
I think it was about £25. Just seen a French site asking €195

As a serving member, when I went to the RAF Ski Champs, I came across a right bunch of fancy jersey wearing prima donnas who had absolutely no interest in anyone but themselves. They are work dodging, movie making, hill shaking, time taking willy wobblers who in this time and space ought to go and nab some f***in' terrorists and stop poncing with watches that they wouldn't really buy!
The video above shows it all.
