Navigator's Watches?
 

Hi Guys,

Does anybody know what is meant by a "Navigator's Watch"?

Apparently it has a quite plain, easy to read, dial - but that's about all I know.

Any pictorial help would be appreciated, need to go and buy one :)

They are specially made to take high level altitude pressures, much the same as diving watches take pressures under the sea.

Hmmm.....it's not actually going to worn by a "Navigator" I just need to find one in that style.

Thanks though :)

They look like normal watches.The third one down here is a navigators watch. There's nothing special about them to look at.

What does the person you are buying for want, maybe someone knows the kind of watch.

Ok, just read the first post again. I believe one of the things about these watches is they are more visible at lower lighting.

A watch.

Light coloured face (white possibly) - with a date counter if possible.

Black, leather, strap.

Plain, and classic, design - not fussy or overly ornate.

Needs to be easy to read, during the day and at night, and (if possible) have a light of some sort.
