Thread: What types of watches do you like?

Longines hydro conquest.

Str8Shooter, that Longines is a magnificent watch. It is a classier version of the very common Rolex Sub Mariner....

Nice. I like the look of that one.

I've been wearing a Chase-Durer Pilot Commander daily for the past 7 years, but my holy grail of watches is the Breitling Navitimer. Not much else comes close in my opinion.

The Navitimer is one of those watches you either love or hate. Years ago when Breitling was in financial do-do they sold the rights to the watch and that is why you have all these copy-cat versions. Personally I find the style a little much and way too busy. it's certainly a very fine watch.

I agree they are busy on the style front, especially if they have a flight computer bezel. Personally I wouldn't buy a watch for daily wear that didn't have one. Not primarily for the functionality, its really more that "the shoe fits"

Oh, and if anyone else likes aviation-inspired watches, Bell + Ross make some REALLY cool vintage styled versions with details like square cases, and big, visible counter-sunk screws, and high-contrast faces designed to look like cockpit gauges.
