Love those Breitlings! A buddy of mine had the Breitling Aerospace, which had both LCD displays and analogue hands driven by stepper motors, so that they could whiz around to the correct time when you changed the time zones. No whiz-wheel, though - in the end, I settled for the Citizen Eco-Drive equivalent, which is great for daily wear and does have a slide rule bezel:
That's the "Blue Angels" model, btw. Like the Breitling Aerospace, it uses stepper motors, but should never need a battery change (the commonest cause of failure of electronic watches, imho) since it has a small solar cell in the face. To conserve power, the second hand stops after dark - when you bring it into the light, it whizzes around to the correct position, something that still amuses me when I see it. And of course, pressing both the big buttons swaps the time on the LCD display for the "analogue" time, causing the hour hand to swing around, forwards or even backwards, to the correct time (the minutes hand moves, too, for those weird half-hour time zones).
You also made me drag out the nav computers I used back in the day, so I set them up on my desk (right-to-left, chronologically - I wasn't planning ahead!). At extreme right, a Pooley's (UK) CRP-1, which has a wind side very like the E-6B. I graduated from there to a Jeppesen CR-5, which fit conveniently in a shirt pocket - but the wind side on the CR devices is much less intuitive and tricky to use. Ironically, the Pooley's device looks as good as new, while the CR-5 is very yellowed with age.
Finally, of course, the 41CX with Aviation Pac, which I used for a while for planning, especially with the ability to print on the 82143A. I also have an original Sporty's E6B calculator around here, somewhere. They both soon gave way to computerized flight planning programs, including one I wrote myself, but the CR-5 stayed in my shirt pocket for many years and I still used it occasionally when flying.
Best,
