Which aviation/filed watch would you go for?
I love field/aviation watches and I am looking to add another to my collection. I'm leaning toward the longines but I would like to see what others have to say.

Watches and photography are my favorite hobbies. I started collecting around 2018 however I have had a watch on my wrist from my childhood days.

I'm a huge, HUGE fan of the Oris Pointer Date, really love it's aesthetics, so I voted for it.
But if you are looking for a field watch, I'd go with a Hamilton Khaki.
Aviation, Longines Spirit is a big yes for me, I really like the green Zulu one.
If you wish for a more Flieger themed watch, you should check Stowa or Laco.
I'd recommend the CW C65 Dune, or C63 Sealander.
Of the three you listed, the Longines would be my choice.
Longines Spirit but none of these three have a slide rule so you can calculate your fuel consumption like Navitimer.
Between those three options, I'd go with the Longines. But I said other because ultimately I'd rather go with an Omega Railmaster or Tudor Ranger. Ultimately I am saving up to get a Rolex Explorer in a few years and that will be my daily watch, despite not having a date.
Glycine Airman have been on my list for a while.
Monta out of theses.
Longines if you want the best value for money out of these three. Beautiful dial, great finishing and a very good movement.
Oris would be the second choice. My favourite Oris model, especially the green dial bronze version.

Great picks, I would prob go with the rail master and explorer, but it’s out of my price range for now.
D. Other - this one.
this longines and Oris are my two grail watches and it is realy difficult to choose.
I like the Oris Pointer Date, but if we’re talking JUST aviation, I gotta go with the Oris Propilot X Caliber 400
I would prefer an IWC Spitfire, but the Spirit is very cool too 👌🏽
