So I am bringing three watches with me on a long overseas flight to Asia from the States, what watch would you wear on the journey and why?

1. Yema Bronze GMT Superman
2. Hanhart 417 ES Flyback Chronograph
3. Oris Aquis caliber 400

I am leaning towards the Hanhart being that it is a pilot's watch and I will be in the air a considerable amount of time, it is also the most comfortable since it is on a really nice strap, and that matters over a long 17 + 2-hour flight.
The 2nd choice is the Oris Aquis because it is just a beautiful watch and does get a lot of positive attention,
The 3rd would be the Yema, it probably is the logical choice being that it is a GMT and I am crossing over a couple of time zones. The Yema is on a strap as well but the strap does not compare to the one on the Hanhart and it has a bigger diameter.
In the past, this would not be so much of an issue because I would always wear my Jaeger LeCoultre Hometime, it was my go-to watch when traveling, but unfortunately, it is being repaired at this time.

The smallest one with gmt set for home time.
I was going to ask if you had room for all three Bob, 😊😀but in keeping with
your wish to go with one watch, I was thinking the Hanhart for all the reasons
you said above, and honestly because I know that you just really love the watch. 😉
Honestly you could not go wrong in whichever one you chose because they all
are exceptional. However the Hanhart ticks all the boxes and then some ! 😎
Honestly it's tough, but the Hanhart gets my vote.

I hope you have a safe as well as really fun trip as well as time !

And thanks a bunch for thinking to ask us for help and post up this topic !!!

I would opt for the chrono, comfort is all that matters, above all else.

Arrived in the land of smiles yesterday Tuesday morning and finally arrived here in Khon Kaen in Northeastern Thailand with my Hanhart on my wrist. I woke up in the morning and once again put on my Hanhart. The water festival is starting in a couple of weeks and at that time I will put on the Oris and keep it on when heading to the island.
