It's so big, it's ridiculous, but they are actually very nice watches.

Fortis "Cosmonaut" watches are very cool. A little pricey, but I believe guaranteed to 20G and -80C, good for atmospheric re-entry and spacewalks. http://www2.fortis-watches.com/sf2010/en/

I used to have a Citizen Blue Angles E6B Watch but then I realized it was stupid (never had a backlight) so I sold it to some other sucker while doing my PPL
