Egg noodle.
Great question, I think and skx of any iteration, and hope that it lasted. That or some kind of super tough solar [emoji1303]

Would have to be a Breitling Emergency of course!

Well apart from the above “rescue me” watch, I’d have either a 5600 G Shock solar atomic, or a 9F Seiko, and a few spare batteries.
Batteries have a shelf life which may not last for the duration.Quote:

Of course the Breitling Emergency (new version) has the digital and analog rescue frequencies so you could get International Rescue (Thunderbirds are Go) help anywhere in the world.
If going mechanical - it would have to be hard as nails - maybe Rolex 11600 or 116600 as that has adjustable bracelet when malnutrition kicks in.
Or go old skool -
Put a stick in the sand and mark off the hours as a sun-dial. The shortest shadow length would be at local noon-time (approximately - as you need 'equation of time' look-up tables packed with you, you did pack them right??).
Added advantage - you could amuse yourself trying to calculate your latitude based on the shortest shadow of the stick - if you're at the equator there is no shadow - and you could even work out what day it is! and so on.
