Today, of course, you don’t need Rolex money to get your hands on a great-looking aviator’s watch. Tasked with imagining a new kind of watch for Pan-Am airline pilots, Rolex added a distinct red and blue bezel to help keep track of multiple time zones at once-and the rest, as they say, is history. From the outset, pretty much every pilot’s watch had three things in common: a dial with big, ultra-legible markings an oversized crown (pilots needed to be able to adjust it without taking off their gloves) and an extremely robust case (essential when you’re pulling Gs at 30,000 feet.) But the next major twist in the pilot watch story arrived roughly a decade later, with the debut of one of the most legendary timepiece collabs in history: the Rolex GMT-Master. Maneuver through multiple time zones with the choice. This CoPilot GMT has the ability to display time in both GMT and Local time zones simultaneously. Aristo 3H80GMT pilot watch features a Swiss Made Ronda 515-24H quartz movement, luminous hour and minute hands, a GMT hand for tracking a second time zone.

The original 1904 Cartier Santos is considered by many to be the first example of the genre, but the look of the pilot’s watch as we know it today was popularized in the ‘40s by brands like IWC, A Lange & Söhne, and a handful of others. Combining the characteristics that make a timepiece a true pilots watch, the Quartz Airpilot was born. Six years later, in 1927, Cartier created a watch that displayed multiple time zones. Frederique Constant is famous for its high quality classical watches at sensible prices.
