Watch Suggestions ~$400
I have been working towards getting into the Air Force Academy and I plan to get myself a watch when I get accepted.
Image above shows general colors of the academy on normal occasions. Any ideas for a watch +/- $100 in the $400 range? I was thinking something aviation related with possibly a retrograde second hand. Of course the main thing is color scheme, do what you do.
Want something nice but also unique to my collection, I have seikos, casios, a timex, a caravelle, and an abhorrent apple watch.
Don’t think you’re gonna get a retrograde seconds for that budget
How about an official USAF edition https://www.marathonwatch.com/collections/usaf-editions
Neato! Two watches I have looked at in the past. Marathon stands out to me with that rugged design and tritium dials. I have always been a lover for things radioactive, even if minuscule. Thanks!
go for an old school commemorative watch https://www.ebay.com/itm/354345955205
Very neat, that will be a very unique peace. Thanks!
If you’re looking for an aviation watch, most of the dudes in my squadron who aren’t wearing our issued Garmin watches or Bremont/Breitling/IWC wear the Citizen Promaster

I personally wear my Belova Lunar Pilot as my backup flying watch to my Bremont
I like the way the Nighthawk looks.

Many aviation watches contain a lot of data, which they are tools; some of them have too much information to interpret in my honest opinion. Still nonetheless very cool, thanks!

Bulova lunar pilot 96B258
Timex marlin chrono TW2W10200
I like the first 3, but with the timex I’d move more into the timex q chronograph. A unique feel to me. The marlin looks a bit too much like the classic breitling chrono
Agree. And the word Marlin doesn’t really go well with a pilot or field watch. Good luck and show it off on here whichever one you decide to get.
