What is your icon in each category?

For each of the main categories what is the 1st watch that comes to mind, which one is the epitome of that design language and/or best in class whether you like it or not?

I'll go first...

Dive = Rolex sub

Pilot = IWC big pilot

Dress = PP calatrava

Field = CWC GU10

Chrono = Omega speedy

(Feel free to add more categories)

I missed my chance to see the Swiss Icons watch in person. Apparently they had it at Watchtime NY. I went to the show but I had a case of food poisoning and felt sick and had to leave as soon as I got there. Here are couple more not mentioned.

Steel Sports AP Royal Oak and Patek Nautilus

Racing Chronograph Tag Heuer Monaco

Tourbillion Breguet

Perpetual Calendar IWC DaVinci
