Santa's Watch ??

It's pretty clear that the Jolly Old Elf is a pilot.. Any documentation on his Christmas Eve habits will reveal this..

He likely would need to have access to a watch with quick changes for each timezone he passes, while simultaneously keeping track of North Pole time so he doesn't miss his post-flight hot chocolate..

Likely, the old guy would be secure in himself, and opt for a classic that demonstrates his achievement as CEO of a large manufacturing facility, yet not so ostentatious that nobody would leave some simple cookies and milk at each stop..

Ruggedness and reliability would be paramount as he twinkles, nods, and rises up chimneys.. There would also be some G-forces encountered "ere he drives out of sight", and on to the next rooftop....

Without doubt, I believe that he would choose one of these........

Great pic Larry and I agree with you that those are the only proper timepieces for a fellow that has to cover every timezone in the world in a 24 hour period.
