>Auto is gonna be a lot harder because it really needs to be a chrono for that Navitimer aesthetic and decent auto chronos are expensive,
Handwind would be OK too (maybe even better, because affordable movements with complications are already quite thick and an auto rotor tends to put them into hambeast territory).
But it must not necessarily have the navitimer design (though I wouldn't mind a homage), it just needs a slide rule. Flighmaster and Skyhawk I know and I kinda dig their ultra-busy looks, but they're even busier than the navitimer or pic related, and those are already hard enough to read, so I'd like to have something a tad more minimal.

>The compass bezel is used for finding NSEW just by using the position of the sun abd the hour hand, theres a tutorial for it.
I thought so, but why bother?
That method isn't that accurate that I would need a bezel that I can use to point exactly at 247° or something. If I know where N is,then I also know where NSEW (and NNW, NW, NWN, W and so on ) is, since that is just logical and you can't get more accurate than that.
I mean, how do you do that? Point at the sun, and then you move your watch to adjust it, but in such a way that you absolutely not turn it even by half a degree, and then you adjust it, and then you move it again (without turning it, of course!) so that you can get a bearing on whatever you need to go to?
I don't really feel it…
But yeah, of course it's a fashion piece, so it's not like this really matters, but unlike say, the tachymeter and telemeter on my Strela, I doubt that this bezel had a real use during its heritage.
