The Hamilton Khaki Aviation Pilot Pioneer is something of a misnomer. Despite the name it's not a traditional pilot wristwatch. Rather, its design is based on the Model 23, a pocket watch provided to US Army Air Force crews in the 1940's. In any event it has an authentic vintage look and at 38mm diameter and less than 12mm thick it fits my skinny wrist better than most of my larger watches. Its H-10 movement averages less than 2s error a day and has a reserve of 80 hours or so. With no date, resetting it when it hasn't been worn for several days is simplified. I love that.
