Cool thread!
Vintage watches ia another hobby of mine. The only "true" pilot watch I have is a vintage 1980ties Poljot Sthurmanskie chronograph. Even though this forum is mostly about US and British gear, I thought I could post some pictures of the Soviet "Breitling". "Sthurmanskie means "Navigator" in Russian.
This watch is a nice piece. At 40mm it is a good size, and it has a cool rotating bezel for a second timezone (Zulu time). There are quite a few of them on eBay, however finding one in good condition takes some patience.. The never ex-USSR examples are nothing to lust after, in my opinion... They were never issued to pilots.
movement is a Poljot calibre 3133, which is a version of the Swiss Venus 7730. Quite reliable manual wind movement.
