Just wondering if you have any interest in Breitling or IWC Watches due to your profession. If so, any future purchases in mind or specific models that speak to you?
This series of videos is so entertaining and real . Real working people who love watches and are passionate about their work, merge the two and it’s a special thing. Thanks Teddy.
Casio G Shock all day long for flying. Try flying an Extra aerobatic airplane (made in Germany) with a luxury watch. You'll bang it up. I've made that mistake.
@@pittss2c601 I have a scarred GA-B2100 which I wear in the workshop. It's really uncomfy and I'm happy when I got it off my wrist. But it can definetly take a hit like anything else!
When I got my commercial rating back in the day, my wife and my mother bought me a Gucci chronograph to help me practice "timed turns" as part of my multi-engine IFR training. Still runs great, several batteries and one cleaning, 35-years later!
Oh my god he has a Citizen Skyhawk Blue Angels edition. My parents gifted me one for my 16th birthday. It was also my first nice watch. It died sitting in my closet. After 16 years I got it refurbished by Citizen and I fell back in love with it and watches in general. I wore it seeing the Blue Angels for the first time. Something I'd always wanted to do as a kid. I have a deep connection with this one.
As an airline pilot myself I’m pretty loyal to Breitling for all it’s significance to the aviation community. Got a Chronomat, Navitimer, Premier and an super ocean heritage. Chronomat is my daily driver
I love these type of videos where someone goes through their watch collection and there are just very personal stories about how/ why they acquired certain time pieces and what they mean to them. Please keep bringing content like this 😊
As an airline pilot the only thing I care about on my watch is the day of the week. It’s the only thing I never know and isn’t as readily available anywhere else.
I work shifts as well and it’s such an amazing feature almost none of the higher end brands have. I’m considering a Sinn 104 but my gw5600 is really all I will ever need😛
Enjoyable video and thank you for your service. As a retired Army Infantry officer, I can relate to the diver's watch attraction. When I got promoted to Major, my wife said that I was entitled to a real watch, so she got me a Seiko Transitional Diver (1995). I've retired a long time ago, but its still my day-to-day watch.
Great episode! Former C-130 navigator here…I always flew with either a G-Shock 5600, Casio Pathfinder, or Citizen Navihawk (the one with a whizwheel on it).
Teddy B., this is the format I gravitate towards. You got the Diver and Operative episode that I remember. Hodinkee did it with an retired Navy Seal. W.O.E. too. Please keep it coming.
A Pilot needs whatever they feel is the most functional wrist instrument for them, and that can vary. Note: huge fan of the IWC BP 43 and it would also be my primary choice but doesn’t mean it’s the most ideal for someone else.
Amazing video! I’m working on my ratings and I went down the rabbit hole as well. Marathon Navigator is my piece when I fly on training flights. But I have an Alpina Startiner, Hamilton “Coop” Khaki Aviation, and of course my Citizens Nighthawk and Promaster Special Edition. Missing my Rolex GMT Master and Speedmaster.
Love this. And yes, Kevin's red straps I think rubbed off on more than a few of us. Great collection. And Teddy - that pistachio dial you've got is superb.
If it has a GMT function that also helps -- especially for those flying internationally -- since time (in pilot weather reports, ATC instructions, etc.) are typically expressed in GMT / UTC (aka "Zulu"-time). E.g., even in the US if you're flying say from New York to Denver and pull up Denver's weather report, all the forecasts will be in GMT.
Part of my response was edited out but the quick set hour hand and date function is a major plus when I cross back and forth over the international dateline
There are a bunch of retired Navy SEALS who run a police training company called GBRS. They have a big RUclips presence and they are really into watches. They are epic and so are their collections. I’d love to see them sit down with Teddy.
Teddy your on fire, love these videos also really enjoyed the watch we wore the most video you should try to collaborations with some of the the others in the video (Niko would be an epic one lol)
Casio G Shock all day long for flying. Pulling 'G's" in an airplane is no place for a mechanical watch. It means "Gravity Shock". Also, the cockpit of an aerobatic airplane is a hostile place for a luxury watch. You constantly bang it on everything since your space is so tight. I've made that mistake. I only wear my G Shocks when I fly (not including riding in airline jets as a passenger).
I totally get that a watch can become irreplaceable. I have a CWC G10 Fatboy from my wife's birth year. I swapped out the electronics a week before the birth of our second child, and wore it to the hospital the night she was born. I now have an excuse not to sell it, and to gift it to our daughter when she can take proper care of it.
Pepsi on Jubilee good for taking pictures and making videos, but when it comes to wearability and look of the sportiness of the GMT nothing beats the oyster bracelet
Dont understand in this day why people think tool watches matter for and job. Professionals couldnt care less what they wear. Its all based on looks not what it does
I was landing once on the A380 going into SYD. the captain and I were walking towards customs. The captain was wearing a ten dollar Casio plastic Watch. Crossing time zones and international date lines. You don’t need a pilots watch with half dozen GPS’s in the cockpit. An A36TC. You don’t need a pilots watch with two GPS screens. Pilots watches today are a relic of the past. I didn’t have a pilots watch in 1970 when I soloed.
Awesome video! Interesting how he doesn't have a world timer. That's something I would get (Omega Aqua Terra WT) Other than that, I'm pretty in sync with his choices. I have the exact GMT2 on my list, 300m white. (Split between getting it on a rubber or bracelet). FOIS but on a leather strap (which I regret a bit since I prefer the look on the bracelet). Oris I would get the propilot x caliber 400. Excellent collection! Cheers for sharing it with us!
WooHoo!! It was such an absolute pleasure doing this shoot with Teddy! Thank you for the opportunity.
@@theredderbaron love your Oris collection sir, top notch dials 🔥
Epic pilot username.

Hey man what brand straps do you use? Enjoyed it
Such an awesome collection thar reflects who you are and what you do!
more of this series please
Totally agree!
Agreed! More of these please.👍
the people agree! whatever feelers you have out to find candidates for this, time to increase them!
This series of videos is so entertaining and real . Real working people who love watches and are passionate about their work, merge the two and it’s a special thing. Thanks Teddy.
In Germany we have a certification for aviation watches (DIN 8830). Certified aviation watches come from Sinn, Laco & Stowa.

I would never trust a cheap Chinese made tech I can get at Walmart
I've been researching all that brands. So many great, simple and clean watches to choose from. I can't decide!
@@bdegrds My G Shocks are made in Japan. "Japan H" production line.

This is the watch content we're missing! Everyone does reviews on their sponsored watches. This is so utterly refreshing

I dont know whats cooler, his watch collection or the fact that he was an apache pilot. Great video as always Teddy!
Best series! Merry Christmas to Teddy subs
Merry Christmas!

Me too. I check that on my G Shock constantly.

ive always wanted a rolex starbucks, but that white face omega is really amazing
That Oris, sheer beauty and elagance. If only ...
The couch series... Always appreciate seeing the collection of others. Great job on the intro edit!!
The Arabic Seiko is damn sweet.

Every single one on my wishlist. Great collection
Teddy Bulbasaur
Love this series. It's such a pleasure and so informative as well as thoroughly entertaining.
Another hit from Teddy.
seriously such a cool interview. Loved hearing him talk about where and why he got his watches.
Thank you!

This guy’s taste and my taste are almost a match
A pilot needs a big pilot
Or Navitimer
@@umaxime9893 G Shock all day long for flying.
@@pittss2c601luxury time pieces vs cheap Chinese made tech
No they don’t

Hair Force One!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'll definitely take that as a compliment.
Hair traffic control keeping his style in check

I have the white 300 and it’s good to see someone else enjoying it. Thanks guys
Sweet collection, what brand of rubber straps are those? They are really nice.
I’d like to know as well please.
One of the best pilot watches is Studio Underd0g's "Pizza". That is an essential piece.
Great watch collection, one of the best I've seen
Love this. And yes, Kevin's red straps I think rubbed off on more than a few of us. Great collection. And Teddy - that pistachio dial you've got is superb.
The Oris pieces had me 🤤
How does a pilots watch actually help a pilot? Is legibility the only thing bc of vibration?
If it has a GMT function that also helps -- especially for those flying internationally -- since time (in pilot weather reports, ATC instructions, etc.) are typically expressed in GMT / UTC (aka "Zulu"-time).

why no avi8
Teddy your on fire, love these videos also really enjoyed the watch we wore the most video you should try to collaborations with some of the the others in the video (Niko would be an epic one lol)
Been to that seiko store in Bahrain. I also picked up a Seiko Arabic .
Can't wait to go to the bigger store there.
Yes! Love this series. Keep em coming
Dude they are honoured to sell it to you not the other way around.

Yep. I plan on gifting my daughter the Speedy for sure
Awesome vid. More of them pls Ted!
Teddy gets to do all the cool stuff!
Great video and such a nice collection, love the Oris section, we truly feel your enthusiasm for the brand! And gorgeous Breitling on Teddy's wrist 🔥

What strap is in the Seiko ?
It's a StrapHabit
My absolutely favorite videos! Keep em comin' Teddy
Great video, love all the insights!
Thanks for the great content, Teddy!
Well done, thank you!
Hats off from one metroliner driver to another
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
My best friends husband is a pilot.. But not a watch guy. Gotta change that. Great collection!!
Great video as always!
Love these videos. Watched the Diver video too
Like this ! Thank you Teddy 🥃
teddy what you wearing on your wrist today?
Teddy, it appears your strap is on "backwards". If so, any reason? Just curious.
Love this series Teddy! Bring us more in 2025!
This is a great collection. Rolex games eh? Bezel misalignment?
Great video, very nice watches.
IWC Big pilot
What a lovely Seiko
Your videos are a true art! Every time you surprise me with the quality and depth of your content.🦓🎆🛫
If watches were on a bingo card, this guy would have multiple bingos….
Really enjoyable
I too am not a bracelet guy.
One of us! One of us!
I try and try to like fkm, rubber, leather, sailcloth, etc.....but I ALWAYS go back to metal bracelet. I think I like the weight and how it sits.
I like these type of videos… :-)
Hell yeah Citizen.
Nice teddy good video the best in this industry people teddy blesses from.P.R.💯👍
Why is that 2k Oris more capable than any other GMT in the world tho
Did I miss any mention of G-Shock in the video ? Is it a clickbait ?
Hi From Brazil... Amazing
Dont understand in this day why people think tool watches matter for and job.
Professionals couldnt care less what they wear.
Its all based on looks not what it does
Maybe 40 years ago, but now it’s just a load of fantasy bs. Only use now is to categorise watch types.
Anyone still watching in 2024?
What’s up, dude! I really want the Seiko SSC813. (Just sayin is all) Merry Christmas to you!
December 24, 2024

absolutely, 12/24/24
Omg I thought I was the only one
No Breitling
Watches today for pilots are coolness vs needed sunglasses.
Studio Underdog next video please 🙏
Poll 🗳️: Speedy v. Daytona v. El Primero???
Speedmaster
Great collection, missing navitimer 😢
Agreed. I think I need the 747 version Navitimer
@@theredderbaron they made a very cool Pan Am version I think you'd probably like. It's got a red, white and blue dial on a milanese bracelet.
Every pilot i'm friends with wears a Breitling
Not me. Casio G Shock all day long for flying.
Which one @@pittss2c601
Good stuff!
Echo in the room a bit distracting hehe
So was my head cold. 😆🤦♂️
0:42 ‘ba dum tzzzzz’
A very likable guy!
I think so as well. Made me interested in what he had to say.
Audio sounds a bit “hollow”
The lav mic is definitely picking up the reverb/echo :(
Yes!! Love this format!! The perfect Christmas gift, Teddy :)

Your collection is top notch all your watches are amazing. I learned something today
That's awesome. Thank you.
Amazing. The signature pilots watch, thr Glycine Airman, isn't part of the collection.
no hamilton x wind? thats not a real pilot.... he aint even got a hamilton x wind sheesh
Actually had one....but sold it.
Who else is watching in 2057?

It's definitely on the list for me
Teddy, ask him if the earth is flat. 😂😅
😂 it's not. ......but I signed a non disclosure on "chemtrails" so don't ask. 😏😏😏
❤this was interesting ❤
