    Pilot watch buzz



    Looks like I have bit of thing for pilot / military / field watches. Does anybody else steer towards this watch style for their main preference?

    Divers are still my dominant type, but I do like an aviation themed watch. These are mine.

    The bulk of my collection are Pilot watches or Divers


















    I like a black dialled watch.

    Some great watches there guys, I’d wear any of them too . I like the idea of “tough” models.

    Here's mine.



    I love the almost outrageously bold design of the Flightmasters. For some reason it always seems to bring a smile to my face when I see one.

    My 1984 issued Precista is a 6B, one of 1600 made that year . . .





    I'm calling my DC56 (bought new from Eddie in 2009) a pilot's watch . . .





    . . . because pilots wear them . . .

    Have you as yet considered watches for people on submarines?

    I don't want to post a pic of my PRS-9 as it would embarrass the 1935...😎

    This was my daily wearer for over 20 years, still have it but it lives in a box now






    This gets worn the most these days




    And rather pleased with this cheapo from Aliexpress with a Seiko automatic movement, not bad for 60 Euros delivered.

    I have a Panzera big pilot style watch. Was ok until the crown stripped. Customer service was a bit crap so it lives in a drawer now.

    Might pick up something to replace it as I do like the style.

    I wear my CWC pilots watch for smart occasions on a leather single pass nato (stops it being too high on the wrist), and on a normal nato the rest of the time.

    Despite not being a pilot I have a few pilot watches. I like legibility. :)

    For legibility and looks they are my choice too and they form part of my overall collection.





    Not true to the subject matter but they look pretty good company for the others in the group.
