I've been a fan of the Timex Expedition Series. Typically under $50 and if you look around you can find a model with the analog/digital face. I always display Zulu time on the digital portion and local time on the analog portion.

I agree that this a great watch for the money. I had one for five years. Took it everywhere.

This guy is right on the monee. I own two Speedmasters. One Pro and one ameteur. Additonally, Dont forget about the dude who drives a lower quality flight bag too. Tumi is the only brand that counts once you are at a certain level. Omega v Rolex is similar to Travel Pro v Tumi. yup

I got mine right before the birth of my first child. My wife got a "push" present so I was able to talk her into letting me get a push present too. Been on my wrist 4.5yrs now and it is the best decision I could have made.

I have a cell phone, so no need for a watch I guess. Though I do find myself attracted to tech watches such as the Samsung frontier or Apple watch

Bought it at the Boeing in store when I got my 73 type



Only wear it with a uniform.
Time off is no shave, no shoes, no watch...
