as usual technology trumps the old methods so I use a program called Skydemon for navigation. but tend to use the stopwatch function on my speedy to record fuel tank change elapsed time as a backup. |

Thanks much, Lee!

It's funny that you pointed out all those details about the watch, as many of them were aspects I observed myself when I was choosing this piece. Mind you, the actual purchase happened when a mint pre-owned came about from a dealer I trust, but before that I'd spent a long time admiring pilot watches and determining what I would want in a piece for myself. Some challenges I faced in the hunt were either the watches were a little too big and thick for my taste (IWC's big pilot comes to mind, beautiful as it is), had a date which ruined the design (I'm looking at you, Longines Heritage 1935 - Czech Air Force reedition) or were a little too plain for my linking in the long term (like the IWC Mark XII LE of a couple years back). The Vintage Pilot, I found, presented a solution to all those points, with an added flair of history to the model. As a final fun fact, it is powered by a manual wind caliber based on the Jones pocket watch movement, which is pretty cool: Quote:
