Have you seen their Flight Timer [Limited]? Very cool.

Though I do which they would get rid of the cheesy "Big Mech" red rotor on all of their exhibition back watches.

I had a Carlos Coste Limited that I recently shifted, great watch.
My Worldtimer is pre-red rotor actually. My other Oris has the red rotor. I do like the plain rotor better. I have seen the flight timer. I agree that they are great value in that type watch. Another brand I have and really like, although not for travel, is Nomos, which is German brand from the Glashutte area. I have one of their handwounds and they make the movements, at least in large part, themselves. A very good buy for the quality. I have one very similar to this, but it is a different one of the limited edition series like this from Wempe, and the face is a little different on each series of 100 watches that they made. So mine is a bit more colorful but very close to this.
