Suggestions for a pilot's watch under 15k used

I am getting my pilots license soon and am looking for a watch that has a GMT function and a Chronometer. GMT is needed due to all air traffic uses GMT and the chrono to time legs of the flight. I would also like to be able to dive with it but that is not a deal killer. I am looking at JLC Navy Seal, Panerai 275/311 and the real odd one is a Franck Muller Master Banker Chrono. Any good options you would recommend? No IWC or Navitimer.

How out the Omega Planet Ocean GMT? You can certainly dive with that if you wanted to.

I’m not aware of any good looking GMT chronographs. If I wanted a pilot it would be a gmt, Navitimer or IWC. Sorry.

I’m struggling at the moment to come up with something a bit more higher end, but if that’s not an absolute necessity, then your specs will be met by the Fortis F-43 Alarm Chronograph GMT.
50m WR probably doesn’t fully cover the dive aspect, but then it’s not a common feature for a Flieger design.

I’m not sure this Zenith is any better, for the extra cost – https://www.chrono24.co.uk/zenith/ze...-id5569885.htm
