I'm a pilot, most aviation stuff runs on UTC rather than local time so the GMT function is really useful to have, plus it's nice for travel. For now I use the Skyhawk's little LCD display but when I finish my commercial license (next year hopefully) I want to get something nice, parents might get it for me as a "graduation present" but if not I'll just buy it myself.

Rolex is definitely out of my price range, especially if my folks end up being the ones buying it. My basic requirements are:
>2-5k
>40-43mm
>Not too thick
>Clear dial without too much clutter
>Easy to read, and hard to misread, 24hr GMT display
>Natural steel or titanium finish with a nice bracelet
>Preferably a rotating GMT bezel
Beyond that I'm pretty open to various options. The Breitling Aerospace is high on my list but I'm not in love with the styling and it's a lot of money for a quartz. I'm also liking what I see of the Tudor GMT. Sinn makes a few contenders (pic related), and a GMT Seamaster could also be a possibility.

As for the Citizens, they're technically really cool watches and really nicely built for the money, but they're also chunky dinner plates with too much dial clutter and I only really use the GMT function on them. I've had the black Navihawk for years, got it as a gift and liked the idea but it was just too hard to read and I don't really like black watches, so I went looking for another affordable watch with GMT and ended up settling on the Skyhawk, which is basically the same thing but wears smaller (due to the smaller crystal) and is much easier to read.

Yeah, I've heard pretty consistently good things about them. I guess I'm more interested in what /fa/ thinks of the style of it?

There's also this similar model but with a timing bezel instead of the plain one, can't decide which I like more.
