Like fish out of the water
Thoughts about using watches as tools for something different for what they designed for. In this case using a dive watch as a pilot watch.
The rotating bezel is great for timing decompression but also to time between switching fuel tanks while flying. Great legibility even at night with Seiko's lume. And the particular inverted bezel of the Monster is great to avoid hitting the crystal against stuff while doing the checkups.

Definitely, a tool watch like this can cross many boundaries. Some bad ass watches only became affixed to certain activities because people chose to wear them. Like the Rolex explorer was notent to climb mountains per day but people did so with them because it’s a watch that could get it done
Nothing wrong with that at all. Sometimes when I'm flying (PA22-150). I will use a G shock or dive watch (4th hand) or my citizen SkyHawk because I can read the UTC quite clearly. But as long as you tell the time it is by definition, in the circumstances, a pilot's watch.
