• Pet peeve time.

    How can these two watches both be classed as pilot/aviation watches while being defined by completely different feature sets?

    Or is there a sub-category that I'm oblivious to?

  • Both are pilots watches...

    One is a modern take on it giving scales and graphs and calculations.

    The other is a historic pilots watch - the Nav B Uhr watch (or a variant) which comes from the WW2 pilots (technically the navigators) that needed simply but BIG CLEAR MARKINGS. read this for more

  • But the Navitimer has been around since the early 1950s, not exactly a 'modern' design.

    Any aviation history buffs here to tell us when E6Bs went out of service?
