I’m not a pilot.

I own a Hamilton Flight Timer ana-digi watch.

Mainly for the looks and fantastic time functions, alongside ease of use.

It has a “flight log” function and displays ISA temperature at various altitudes. I never use either.

It got me thinking – do pilots actually use functions such as these on a wrist-watch, in the real-world? My guess is that they don’t but I’m unqualified to say for sure.

Other examples with such functions are the Omega Z-33 and Omega X-33.

I also came…

Pilot watches – esoteric functions – useful?

Forgive me if this is posted elsewhere. I couldn’t find it if it was. I have a 1985 Marathon GG-W-113 I would like to get serviced and I was wondering if anyone had a recommendation on who to do it.
Thanks

I’m thinning out my herd in a pretty big way, so this will come off as somewhat counter intuitive. I don’t have a single field watch in my collection. I’ve come close to buying a Khaki a few times, but never. Same with the Tudor Ranger. I think when I clear out some watches, a field watch will be the first thing I start to look for.

What would your recommendations be for a good field watch under $1k? Something with a bit of character and history behind it would be cool, but not…

I finally found one picture in an old external drive. I thought I had several pictures. I think this was in Mosul circa 2006. Sorry it’s not a better picture…
