Default Aviation watches, what a passion!!

From the dawn of aviation men needed watches and chronographs to keep an accurate track of timing for navigation and operative reasons, and were often issued specific watches for the job.

Aviation has inspired watchmakers for the last 100 years, and some of them are simply stunning! I personally have two pieces that are very dear to me and are milestones in the world of aviation and space exploration, the legendary
Hanhart Chronograph







and the legendary Omega Speedmaster Professional, AKA the Moonwatch
(the one and only watch worn on the Apollo Moon landing missions)

Now next on my wishlist is a watch that has no particular history, but is inspired to the looks of WW2 aircraft instruments, the Bell & Ross Heritage automatic watch



do you guys have any aviation related timepieces? (I also have a Luftwaffe cockpit clock, but that can't really be worn as a watch, although I'm thinking about turning it into a desk clock!)
