I ended up getting a Seiko alarm chronograph.
i can use the alarm face as a utc time and it glows in the dark for my GA night flying. theres also a nice stopwatch thats easy to use for engine time on.
Generally they all struck me as way too complex for true usefullness, especially in the air, but it I could get it on FF points so minimal out of pocket.
Now i have to take a few days off to work out how to operate the thing.
I must say it does simple metric to imperial conversions nicely but thats hardly an essential thing.

Just got this one http://www.watchdoor.com/uploadfile/...0121443305.jpg
Beautiful and solid watch with many features completely impractical in real flying but complete nonetheless, compass, thermometer, moon and all sort of stuff…nice timepiece for everyday abuse.
Got few months back this one http://www.watchesgb.com/Thumbnail.a...3000B-1AER.jpg
Not very happy with it. Looks good but chronometer is confusing .
Other than that I use Tag Heuer F1 and a Rolex Oyster datejust gift of my parents years ago…classic and happy with it.
