I’m a huge fan of pilot watches. I have one IWC ceramic Doppelchrono and one pilot watch that I made myself with an ETA 6497.

I want to pick up a Cartier Santos soon, as it was the very first pilot watch ever.
Thanks, Dave! Ohh, that ceramic split chrono is just and how cool is it that you actually built that other pilot!

From my experience (I flew for the USAF), it depends on who you ask: but I find the chronograph very useful. There was one mission that comes to mind where I absolutely needed a chronograph. I was glad I had one so I didn’t have to do the math based on the time displayed on the instruments. Most aircraft now have the ability to start and stop a timer but I like having one on the wrist. Hope that helps, but others views may vary a bit.
Hey Jonathan, thanks a lot for the input!
