A Cuckoo clock seems fitting.

I doubt these choices would fulfill the desired purpose.

The OP is not a pilot, but simply pretends with Microsoft Flight Simulator..
A Cuckoo Clock would be perfect
for his purposes.

If he was a pilot, we wouldn't have to read his postings, as one of his
recent flights ended 'tragically.

Ahhh, now there is a needed upgrade for his simulator to increase the
realism level. He needs to install a double barrel 12 guage shotgun
in the panel aimed directly at his pilot chair. If he crashes, it
blows him away...

If anyone ever doubted that Anthony Atkielski is a troll, this should
convince you,
once and for all.


Indeed, but watch the idiots gobble it up.

No best really. Pilots usually prefer function and clarity over fancy
design although my experience has been that these two things can be
present at the same time.
I seldom used or even needed a watch for navigation. I have noticed that
some of the pilots I know who fly internationally favor watches that show
different time zones while allowing them to keep their watches on GMT.
I own a Brietling Chronograph that has lived upstairs unused for years (a
gift) and next to that the Rolex Submariner that was my personal
preference through most of my tenure as an active pilot.

This one. The others are insufficiently accurate for real pilots.

Agreed on the Citizen Eco-Drive!

I have the Blue Angels version cause I find the contrast of the white
lettering against the dark background easier for these eyes.

3rd yr with it, still like it very much...

I hauled off and bought a Citizen Skyhawk AT. Yeah, it's got all the fancy
features on it, bu it's also got nice big hands, nice big hour marks, and
can display the time in three time zones at once (two plus GMT). It's easy
to change from one time zone to the next, something I use more than any
other feature on the watch, and will set itself automagically from WWVB,
DCF77, or JJY. All that means I know it's showing me the right time, and
when I change time zones, it keeps doing so (because changing the time zone
is independent of setting the watch).
