Those Drivers' Watches were clever but were an invented need much like Pilots' Watches; the actual pros mostly use a plurality of clocks on the console of their vehicle, not an expensive little fragile mechanism on their wrist.

Somehow though Pilots' Watches have survived as a lucrative luxury item. An actual navigator's watch is primarily a stopwatch. The pilot doesn't need much more than a Casio.

Why? They look normal.


They're luxury items almost entirely divorced from what divers actually use.
