>I have no clue what a pilot watch is, and 2bh, can't really find info on that with a succinct definition.
That's actually an interesting point, and in part it's hard to define because there are several different styles that could be referred to as "pilot watches" and some of them aren't even relevant to pilots except as status symbol jewelry. The most iconic ones are probably chronographs with really busy faces and E6B slide rule bezels, but these are the ones that have the least actual use for pilots. Then you have Fleigers, large ones with simple, easy to read dials, which were once standard issue watches for actual pilots but aren't really used in aviation anymore. After that you have a bunch of random stuff that's actually used for aviation, like the Rolex GMT, which is more like a diver in style but was designed for airline pilots, and the Breitling Aerospace, Omega X33, and G-Shock Gravitymaster lines, which are actually designed as tool watches for modern pilots but don't fit the style commonly recognized as a "pilot watch."
