Budget flieger watch

How about this?

Don't know anything about the brand but at that price it's probably made in China.

Out of your budget, but have a look at Tisell https://www.tisellwatch.com/pilot-watch/tisell-pilot-watch-43-mm/

They have some nice pilot watches

Oh and just a tip - the Chinese have their "black Friday" on 11.11 - so if you go onto Aliexpress you'll see special sales for this date (it blows US Black Friday out the water in terms of money spent...something like 10 million bras alone are bought on "singles day" (ironically)).

Singles day 11.11 is named because everyone is 1 on that date

Which actually reminds me to have a look on Taobao/JD.com to check out their sales (think Amazon but 10-20x bigger).

Definitely won't be "budget".

The basic Laco Flieger (above) is worth a look though....

Or if you would rather mechanical you could go for a Dekla at €495.

Non of these are affiliate links btw - it's just the whole mess of tracking they need to do to see who you are :P

- $96 if you wait till the 11.11 sale - and they have a sterile dial option too - hands are non-flieger though.

The San Martin is on 11.11 sale too -

Here's the general search result - seems like you have plenty of choices especially as 11.11 sale is about to hit:
https://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?trafficChannel=main&d=y&CatId=0&SearchText=flieger+watch&ltype=wholesale&SortType=default&minPrice=50&maxPrice=165&page=1

Could be fake F91Ws btw (yeah they exist - go figure!) (and I'm saying this as someone who wants a native Chinese watch industry to succeed... - just take precaution if a deal is too good to be true).

11.11 is singles' day - so just the 24 hours. On the Chinese native sites there's usually a limit (first 200 people etc. - which in China goes...er very fast ). For Aliexpress I don't know if they have unit limits - it's unlikely to be as fierce as Chinese sites. Oh and you can get better deals on native Chinese sites like taobao.com - but you have to pretty much speak Chinese, have a Chinese card or use a buying agent which will bump up the price again.

Looking at some of the San Martin Flieger style watches, they all seem to be on sale for $99. Might be of use to the OP...
