Countdown bezel watches?
A colleague today sported his new Sinn 103 Chrono with a countdown bezel which reminded me -I need a watch with a countdown bezel!His Sinn however is slightly too large for my taste especially as far as its thickness is concerned.
What other watches feature this kind of bezel? The only other ones I am aware of from the top of my head are the Tudor Pelagos FXD Marine National and the Sinn 104...

Good resource to start. Would love one of these watches myself, haven't found the one yet though.

Yup. The countdown insert is my all time favorite. KISS principle (keep it simple stupid). While you can utilize an elapsed time as a countdown, when crazy stuff is happening and adrenaline is pumping, hard to do finite motor skills and thought processes.
I REALLY wish more brands did a dual type. Numerals at only the 15/45, different indices at the 12/6, nd throw in a 12 hr GMT underneath. That plus a LHD, faraday cage, anti shock, and acrylic would be my dream watch. (See Nth's The Mack for what I'm talking about)
For vanilla countdown inserts I own the:
Tactical Frog FXD
Winfield Mission Timet
Douglas Skindiver II Professional
Seiko Prospex Fieldmaster Lowercase
Elliot Brown Beachmaster NIVO
Longisland Watch also has a ceramic, lumed insert for the Seiko GMT's, which eventually I too will join the Seiko GMT club with.
The Oris Diver Sixty Five Hodinkee edition has a countdown bezel. Upon its release back then I was quite attracted to it.

Very cool concept - the bezel can countdown, and the chronograph counts up!
