I am new to the watch world, but have been looking for a solid purchase with strong history of travel exploration.
I’m considering the newer bulova lunar pilot but I’m on the fence. The elgin a-11 or hamilton khaki is also a consideration, but it’s not exactly in the niche I’m itching for. The Smiths De Luxe would be my top choice if I could buy whatever I wanted since Sir Edmund Hillary used to wear it, but for a first purchase I don’t know enough to not get scammed online.
I’m hunting for watches that were used for some feats that pushed the world forward in science and exploration more specifically. Any suggestions?
I have the Nivada Grenchen super Antarctic that is a remake of the watch worn by the Navy’s deep freeze task force in the 50s here
It’s a really nice watch that has become probably my most worn watch and comes in under your price limit. You should check it out.
