I wonder: could a such-and-such watch be defined in this way?

>An X watch is a watch that, in addition to telling the time, is designed with the occupational requirements and hazards in mind.

Thus, a 'pilot' watch would be one that, in addition to telling the time, is designed to be easily legible, and can include extra functions like a slide-rule bezel or a GMT function that are both beneficial to pilots.

A 'Divers' watch is one that, in addition to telling the time, is designed specifically to be water resistant and highly legible, with additional features such as a graduated uni-directional bezel, screw down crowns, etc.

We can always add that 'Divers watches can follow the guidelines of design by ...(is it ASOS)? You know what I mean.

Same way that COSC certification has it's own rules different from Master Chronometer or Superlative Chronometer..

A few other thoughts. I wanted the Nighthawk for the easy time changes, the easy legibility, the 'indestructibility', and so forth. All my watches save the Seamaster are somewhat fragile; only the Seamaster goes diving with me, but the others will never see-water (get it?). So, I wanted a digital that I could wear for whatever, without worrying about dropping it, bumping it into things, etc.

I like yours, both on the strap but also on the bracelet; these kinds of watches are pretty much 'military' no matter what, the only problem is that (at least with the Nighthawk) it has absurdly small lugs, so if you want to attach a leather strap it has to be accommodating to that.

Thanks for sharing man.
