Originally pilot watches were adopted in World War II and designed specifically for pilots.  Key differences between pilot watches or standard watches for men were a larger dial with a simple design enabling owners to quickly glance and know what the time is, a larger wrist band as pilots wore their watches over their pilots? jackets and a larger crown so that it could be used while wearing gloves.  There were additional features such as a chronograph, navigation tools so pilots had a better chance of returning home safely with the ability to check fuel and speed.
Nowadays pilot watches are not just for men and for women too, whether as pilots or for other purposes.  There is not the need for such self-reliance in a cockpit due to technological advances, so designs can be more minimalistic and still retain that original aesthetic appeal of pilot watches all those years ago.  Manufacturers have enhanced their designs of pilot watches with some magnificent specimens available on the market that not only function superbly but have impeccable detail.
