·Taking inspiration from BBC Radio 4’s long running program but with a horological twist; what one watch would you take with you if you were to be cast away on a desert island?

·For example, my CWC RN diver would be a contender for me. Water resistant up to 30 ATM. No battery, automatic so will keep telling me the time as long as I’m keeping busy and most importantly it’s tough as nails so will take every bump and scrape whilst I’m climbing coconut trees looking for dinner.

·This watch might come in handy if I wanted to get off of the island.

“Climbing coconut trees looking for dinner” 😕
I’m having the seafood basket every night if there are no Pigs or Deer on the island
Here is my desert island knife also. ( as same thread pops up monthly on knife forums also )

·I guess I’d bring an Apple smart watch that calls 911 when you fall and just hope the signal reaches someone somewhere.

·My initial thought was to a bomb-proof dive watch eg Ploprof, but then remembered the Breitling Emergency II which is equipped with an emergency beacon so someone could just come and rescue me.

Nice set up but unfortunately no knives allowed. Best you can do is a sharp lugged watch, lets just hope it’s never been sent back to Omega for a polish or you’ll be going hungry.

But if they never show up you’d be stuck looking at that thing on your wrist. I’d go Ploprof for sure!
