It's also damn near impossible to use at night or with nomex gloves on.

I wear an Omega X-33 to work, and it is by far the best flying watch that I've ever used. It's not sexy, and it doesn't scream "I'm a pilot!!" or garner any attention when you wear it out on the town, but it is a serious tool for use in the cockpit.
Omega makes the best watch on the planet but with the weak dollar your are looking at about $3,000 to $3,500 for a X-33.
