9k= We asked our friends at Huckberry, the online store with the coolest gear at the best prices, for expert style advice. This week's topic: great pilot and field watches for the summer.

The best watch will always be the one you're wearing, but we wanted the best watch — one that both timepiece nerds and casual wrists alike would love — and could afford. One that doesn’t sacrifice bulletproof reliability for flash, and packs some extra utility when the mission gets hairy. With all this in mind, Huckberry found the pickings to be pretty slim. So, we made one ourselves.

Available exclusively at Huckberry, these Pilot and Field watches are built to work and wear like the legendary mission timers worn by Special Forces in the 60s and 70s. They feature a surgical-grade 316L stainless steel case and a scratch-proof sapphire crystal. At the heart of the corrosion-resistant steel case ticks an exceptionally-accurate Swiss quartz Rhonda movement. Topside, the dial is finished with bright, C3 Superluminova for maximum legibility even in the dark. The watch, though, is left unbranded or 'sterile' — another subtle nod to the gear issued to those flying deep into enemy territory.

Now, here’s how the two watches differ: The Pilot watch is equipped with a bezel with a 60-second countdown; you can rotate it to use as a stopwatch, when exact timing is of the essence. Meanwhile, the Field watch's bezel can be used to keep track of other time zones, or as a compass, if you ever lose your way.
