I have this quite unusual watch that has so many features including a slide rule bezel. It also has four sub dials including one for the seconds, one for the date and another for the alarm setting. It is an alarm chronograph from Seiko that was supposed to have been to designed to aid pilots as well as engineers.

| The Seiko Flightmaster looks like a very busy watch with the 4 sub dials, the buttons and the rotating bezel. |
 |
| Side view showing the crown and two buttons - one for the chronograph and the other for setting the alarm |
 |
| The other side view showing two more buttons. One for the chronograph and the other for the alarm |
 |
| The back showing the model number, water resistant and serial numbers indicating the watch to have been manufactured in October 1995. The watch was manufactured in the 1990s and all indications plus some research state this to have been Made in Japan instead of having a Japanese-made movement and assembled elsewhere. |

The watch has quite a number of features aside from the chronograph and alarm. Most interesting for me is the rotary slide rule by which one can make certain calculations (assuming you know how to use a slide rule.
