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?

Just because they are 20 years apart that they cant both be pilot watches dude...

Still required for a PPL afaik; if we're talking airline service and the like probably 50s/60s sometime?
@%~} : Seiko made RAF/RN issue quartz chronos, and still make similar civvy models. Citizen also have a range of pilot's watches - think they have the Red Arrows license?
My grail pilot watch would be an IWC Mk XI (or possibly a Mk XIV - at any rate one with proper MOD hands rather than B-Uhr-styled sword hands), but they're silly money these days. Still kick myself that I didn't get an ex-SAAF issue watch when I had the chance.
I went for a Timefactors Speedbird III instead, which is a properly brilliant replica - I got one of the early watches with the sterile dial.

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
