Today we do a fantasy sports-style draft of some of our favorite pilot watches to build a three-watch collection. We put 11 distinct models into a selection pool and chose six to discuss at length throughout the episode, including a brief introduction and historical background on each watch.

The watches available for selection included the Orient Pilot RA, Hamilton Khaki Aviation Day Date Auto, Longines Spirit 37mm, Longines Spirit Zulu Time 39, Bell & Ross BR-03 Gyrocompass, Breitling Classic Avi Chrono P-51 Mustang, Cartier Santos-Dumont, Zenith Pilot Big Date Flyback, IWC Chronograph Top Gun, Christopher Ward C8 UTC Worldtimer, Breitling Navitimer B01, Tudor Black Bay GMT, and the Bulova Lunar Pilot.
