For me the coolest watch has to be an older, purist model of the Glycine Airman. Pretty standard at a glance, but very unique once you pay attention to it. As far as brands go, I agree with many commenters on Oris. They build understated quality into damn near every watch.

Doxa, Dietrich, DeLaCour and Dufa are all I come up with for us D's. I would like more options, but I'd suffer through it with a smile.

Gorgeous watch!

I have had a few people comment on it over the years. I have a current co-worker who hates NATO bands on watches and she always comments when I wear them. Something along the lines of, "I liked the watch you wore Monday better than that one, it looked more professional." I always chuckle either way.

Momentum does lume right. All of their recent pieces glow like crazy
