·@Mad Dog ,
Love the Elgin. I tend to end up with the Hamiltons 992's. Couldn't the Railroad Engineers be sort of considered pilots. Timetables/schedules, long distance, passenger count, freight. Just a thought.

The equivalent of a wrist shot!
Omega Mark V ‘aviator watch’ from 1917, World War I. Ref.123.19, calibre 19’’’LOB Cs.
The watch clipped into a bracket on the instrument panel – a real pilot’s watch! Presumably one of the earliest watches produced particularly for pilots.

Five pages on OmegaForums and no ‘thin arrow’!
Well-known from 1953, chronometer-standard calibre 30 T3 283RS, government marking 6B/542. Anti-magnetic with a 1mm ‘mumetal’ screening disc inside the caseback, produced because of growing concerns about the amount of magnetic influence in cockpits.
Withdrawn because of concerns about the radium lume – re-issued re-dialled with tritium lume with the ‘fat arrow’ (a couple of examples in the thread above).
So many concerns!
The fore-runner of the Railmaster.

·The modern Speedy Gonzales Moonwatch is a good watch for the pointy end...and if you have an Omega replica NASA strap handy...it’s a good loaner watch to plastic NASA astronauts...

··Sunburst dial fanNot only my first pilot watch, but my only watch, pilot or otherwise, for quite a few years!
Ultimately, I got fed up with the 'kinetic' rattle.
