Breitling Aerospace is a really good looking watch. Expensive, but it will last forever.

Citizen New Wingman, model No. JL6XX. They don't make the model I have anymore, but it is great. Three time zones visible on the face and it can display the time in 31 cities around the world with a few pushes of the buttons. I keep the hour and minute hands on my home time zone, the mini digital window on UTC, and the larger digital window on the time zone I'm currently in.

Two excellent features of the watch are that it is relatively light weight and very affordable. I've owned two, the last one I bought in Ronda, Spain for $99.00.

No Doubt, as pilot watches go, it's right there at the top.

I DID see something really funny a few weeks ago in Narita. I was at the Jet Lag Club and this guy came in with a Shanghai Breitling knock-off. It was a perfect copy in every way, except it was a three times the size of the real thing. It looked like he was wearing an alarm clock on his wrist! He caught crap from everyone including the demure Japanese bar maid. It was priceless.
