The dude offered to leave a "pilots" watch under the tree for me!

But need to know what would be most suitable!

What should I suggest! (brand / model etc. )

Others may disagree with me, but I'd stay away from a 'pilots' watch.

I bought a Citizen WR 100 pilot style watch a few years ago. It has a lot of
features/dials/etc., but not really practical to use while flying. I then
bought a Timex dual-time zone watch (digital & analog) and use it for every
day while the Citizen sits collecting dust. On the Timex, I set the analog
to the local time and use the digital for Zulu time. The Timex is less than
a fourth of the cost of the Citizen.

A similar Timex can be found he

or on eBay...
