Now that we have adequately introduced what pilot watches are let us go through some of the best models to consider. While not all modern pilot watches meet all these criteria, most take inspiration from the aviation past and include some of the features and aesthetics described above. Finally, pilot watches normally also have a multi-time functionality, including GMT or functions to track local time and destination time. The crown of pilot timepieces also tends to be notably more prominent than most watches, allowing wearers to easily adjust the watch crown without any difficulties. They included the addition of slide rule bezels or additional markings to assist with mid-flight calculations such as wind correction angle fuel consumption. Newer watch designs were specially tailored towards the needs of pilots and aviators. As aviation became more complex, so did the demand for watches to handle the increased number of controls. Pilot watches also feature luminous hands that are easily legible, especially during night flights. The typically larger size of the case and dial helps tell time quickly and accurately with a glance.

Eary pilot watches focused on simple design, the first and foremost aspect of pilot timepieces is legibility. WWII also significantly impacted military watch design with watches specifically developed for pilots, including the “Flieger watches” designed in Germany. It was worn by Alberto Santo-Dumont, a Brazilian inventor and aviation pioneer, hence the Cartier timepiece. The watch featured a square-shaped case and was relatively small by today’s pilot watch standards. Many consider the Cartier Santos to be the first pilot watch that soared through the air in 1904. As the name implies, a pilot watch is a timepiece designed for use by, well, pilots.
