I recently returned from a trip abroad wih a 5 hour time difference, and was confronted with the question which watch to bring. I went with my go to PP Aquanaut as it goes with everything, doesn't set off the metal detectors, and is fairly under the radar.

Please share what you travel with.

5164 for me...easy to change the time, waterproof, comfortable, and discreet. Can't ask for much more

[PLNYC]

5164 or 5524. Both gorgeous

The 116718 is quite unobtrusive, IMHO

Seriously though, any of the PP pieces pictured ( not on a bracelet) would be excellent for travel

This was my “ Go To” for many years and many situations

I stopped caring about your question once I saw your collection. Awesome taste and really well balanced. Nice!

Thank you but was meant to be an inclusive thread. What do you wear when hitting the road? What attributes do you want on your wrist when away from home?

That said if your answer is an Apple Watch I will accept the kind words and move on

My only dual time / gmts are skyD and BLNR, neither of which are discreet so I normally go with a diver beater. I keep waiting for a Tudor black bay gmt.

I think you made the right choice. The Aquanaut is the best all rounder that I see in your collection

I have nowhere near the kind of collection as you, but I took this on my last trip to Italy and thought it was perfect for the occasion

Oh yeah! The watch that was designed for/by pilots (Pan Am) who traveled through multiple time zones. Emphasis on quick and easy adjustments.

Those of us that are artsy call that mood lighting. Indeed that does look like a poop colored5990.

Don't say that, it looks like my 5711/1r.

Thanks. Unfortunately or fortunately depending on your perspective those are both WG. I like that the faces are extremely unique from one another but likely redundant to most folks. Long story short not a seller at this time.

Ahhh yes on closer inspection I see it's cream dial, looks great

Great thread and great collection.

I travel overseas with a Gmt II C but on an Everest rubber strap to fly under the radar.

There days you can’t be too careful. Especially if your travels take you to some trouble spots. While I detest making my watch choices based on fear, there are some places in which discretion is the better part of valor and a Casio digital watch is called for.

it really depends where i'm going and what i'm doing.

typically, i use a seiko if i'm going somewhere to party or roughing it.

work gets a rolex or one of the others.

Given your username not a surprise that you may be traveling to some universes and places far, far away with sketchy inhabitants.

I fly four international flights per month as an airline pilot. Heading out the door, I usually grab an IWC Mark series wristwatch (XII or XV).

That picture is perfect! Thanks for sharing.

FWIW, my father flew for 30+ years (UAL and NWA), and I don't recall him being particularly enamored of one watch over another. He was, however, always looking for a good, dependable flashlight.

What a beautiful picture. Please take more pics like this one and share often. It is particularly cool to see watches in cockpit.

I like this guy. He's gonna do fine here.

I have a few of the same watches. My 5164 is my watch when I travel abroad or are uncertain about where I am going - nobody has any idea what you are wearing. That said, I had a spring bar pop off on my 5164 and get wedged inside of an airplane seat. Nothing beats a GMT for durability, I just think it looks a little more conspicuous.

Beautiful picture. Beautiful selection.

For about 9+ years my TT 16613LB was my one and only watch and never left my wrist: travel, camping, working in the backyard etc.

Somehow now that i have a couple of more watches to choose from, that one remains my go to watch for traveling. Although it might be a bit more flashy, i find i am more comfortable with that on.
