Usually it was my Oris Diver 65. I had a few cheap watches before that that I never really bonded with, and they were all forgotten when I got the Oris.
I got my Bremont MBII (MH-60R) shortly before I got out, so I had that for my last workup cycle. Normally I wouldn't get the day date, but I wanted the 60R model and that's what it was. It turned out to be extremely useful, and I don't think it looked too bad since both of the wheels were color matched with to dials, and with the lettering in white (Oris does this as well).
I had a cheap quarts chrono before the Oris that I eventually stopped wearing because a highly domed hesalite crystal and tight metal passages and doorways do not work well together. But, having a stopwatch immediately available led me to time most of the evolutions I encountered, everything from how long does it take to get from point a to point b, to how long does it take to pull a helo out of the hangar. It led to me having amazing time management skills!
