pilot watch
Flyer's wrist instrument
A pilot watch is a wristwatch designed for aviators, typically featuring a large, highly legible dial, luminous hands and markers for low-light visibility, and often a rotating bezel or slide rule for flight calculations.
The style emerged in the early 20th century for military pilots and has become a category of luxury timepiece: He wore a pilot watch with a black leather strap.
