My husband just passed away from cancer and I want to get my boys a memorial gift for Christmas. I was thinking about a watch with their dads initials engraved on the back. I know nothing about watches so would appreciate any suggestions. My husband was a pilot, so a pilots watch maybe? Or a military watch? My husband had a Tag Heuer and I thought about getting a new band or something for that but it’s pretty beat up.
my condolences, i know you are holding up strong!
i’m not sure what your price range is as this is on the expensive side, but the Cartier de Santos is very nice and they do engravings with it also! The fit might be quite big for your boys though.
This was designed in 1904 and was the world’s first wristwatch! This was designed for a pilot friend who needed a convenient method to check the time whilst flying.
It’s around $11k so is very expensive but i think it looks beautiful.

It does come with a leather band as well
