Instruments for Professionals - I wonder if you guys really use your instruments for more than telling the time and looking cool :) I for instance frequently use the chrono function of my Superocean Chrono II.

What function of your Breitling do you use and what for?

I use my chrono everyday. Granted it is for pointless tasks like the drive home or from A to B, but nonetheless

i never really use any of the functions. and i only really run the chrono once a month for 24 hours just to keep the parts lubed.

Purely cosmetic for me.
Rarely use the chrono function on my watches or the Navi sliderule or the tachometers, etc...
Just like the looks.
Likewise, give the chrono a good spin about once a month to keep it evenly lubed.

I always find it convenient for parking meter timing. But any watch with a diver bezel is useful too.

I fly with my Aerospace/Co-pilot and use the Tkoff/Ldg function to time flight sectors accurately. Just pressing the button is a darned sight easier than having to look and jot down times.

Whilst this sounds very morbid and dramatic... it isn't really.

But I use my chrono function regularly at work to time everything from respiratory rates, timing drug infusions done by hand and unfortunately, how long we've been doing CPR at cardiac arrest calls (in CPR we give certain drugs like adrenaline and try and defibrillate every few minutes so a timer is great) . I've also taken to using the slide-rule for some of the odder drug calculations as it can be faster than pulling out my iPhone.

I give a lot of presentations at work, I time how long they take while I'm practicing. Also I time my workout.

I leave the stopwatch on all the time as I need to time peoples' pulses and it is easier than the iddy-biddy dial Breitling provide.

I have tried a few times to learn how to use the slide rule on my Airwolf by reading the manual. After a few minutes of puzzled looks and spinning the dial, I just give up on it and enjoy my watch looking cool and complex.

Whenever I fly I time wheels up to wheels down, and as was mentioned earlier - parking meters.
