That’s a sharp watch. I gave a Khaki Aviation Pilot Day Date to my son as a Graduation gift. The H-40 in his boasts the 80hr reserve too. I never did look up the demagnetization you mentioned. Forgot completely and just dove in to get him his gift. He loves it. And I definitely have a Hamilton on my Things I May Get That I Don’t Need list.

Thanks. Nothing beats a good quartz watch… but the mechanical movement is cool.

Things I don’t need but may get. :) (this falls into that category. But I can say I have no buyers remorse yet…)

I had bought an aviator style watch for my son’s graduation years ago and he still wears it when we go out…

I’m a pilot. I looked at both the X-wind by Hamilton and the e6b style flight watch and realized there was a 0% chance I would ever use those features, as I never pick up an e6b even if I fly a 1938 Aeronca. The iPad is just too much of a crutch for pilots nowadays.

I was looking at the X wind. Any of these with a Chrono I always look to see if they have the 10 minute regatta start markup for sailing races. But I never really spot a sailing race specific watch. I enjoy a chrono for the mechanics, but like you said, I’d rarely if never use it.
