Thank you very much. I guess the looks of the Pilot dial differs in that it has numbers on it generally, instead of just marks. The classit divers watches like Seiko or Rolex, and many others have squares, dots, triangles at the hours and minute markers, while the aviation type dials have lines with numbers on them, and some times just the 3-6-9-12 numbers, bigger in size.
If you look at your Kremke pilot watch you just got, you can see that it has numbers and lines where divers have different type of marks - see Citizen, Orsa, Halios, etc.
There are however other watches that have both, like Blancpain or Longines... Anyway, just my observation.
And just as a rejoinder to what Carlottt wrote, water resist ratings as shown on pilot dials, are not as deep-rated as divers, for obvious reasons. Aside from the dial, in general, most pilot watches come in leather straps that have 2 studs on each lug side as a faithful rendition of the WW2 original (IWC, Laco, Stowa etc)
