Casio pathfinder circa 1999. Second battery. It stays in my bag in case we crash land on an Island without electricity and I need to know when the fish are biting. I'll need to borrow that sextant as it needs a rough present position to compute tides.

Twenty years ago, I picked up the venerable GMT Master II. Bought at discount through the AAFES program. U.S. Postman had to collect customs duty for the package from Geneva.
Still wearing it daily, although I usually have a black plastic 'throw-away' in the flight bag for situational use.
Looking at the GMT reminds me of crossing the big blue at 280 kts true. " Hey Nav, are you gonna eat that Mallo Pie?"

Breitling Aerospace Evo.
I use the bezel and two time zones daily.
I love the watch.
Any tachymeter or E6B functions are overkill. Two - three time zones, a chronometer, and hacking capabilities are about all I care about for functionality.
