Infinity & beyond: space watches!

And here is Mirosław Hermaszewski, wearing that watch (R). He flew in Soyuz 30 in 1978 (thanks again, m!)

Sigmund Jähn wore a Ruhla Interkosmos on his 1978 Soyuz 31 flight



It was one of two timing devices Ruhla made for this mission - a quartz timer for the experiments the cosmonauts were to perform, and a souvenir watch (the Interkosmos) he wore on his wrist and gave as gifts to the rest of the crew

Thanks for the pics and links to the info about your space Dirskie, Dave!
Also, how about reposting your Russian moon watch info on this thread? Ta!

General Hermaszewski of Poland wore this in 70s

Made in Poland with Sanyo module.

G.gerlach is bringing out a reissue (kosmonauta). Where I read about it.

Unfortunately, the reissue isn't an LED watch, but a red-filtered reverse-LCD designed to look like an LED.

And here is Mirosław Hermaszewski, wearing that watch (R). He flew in Soyuz 30 in 1978 (thanks again, m!)

Thanks to you both! Until now, I didn't realize someone had worn an LED watch into orbit. Learn something new every day, here!

Scott Kelly is a Breitling Ambassador -- so, it's no surprise that a few Breitlings have made their way to the International Space Station...

First Romain Jerome to make me smile instead of want to throw up at first sight.

Ok time for a speedy pro me thinks. We are all of course quite familiar with the regular bought from a shop speedys with column wheel calibers that went to the moon, and that NASA has continued to use the subsequent 861 and 1861 movements without the column wheel. However, it appears that some of these watches delivered on request to NASA had very interesting radial markings on the subdials. I for one did not know about this configuration until relatively recently. Hit up the link from Speedy fanatics Fratello Watches

Hmm...the Suunto X-Lander has a space-y name. Lander, and all. Has it (or any Suunto) ever been to space?



(Wow, either my wrist used to be smaller, or I was wearing that WAY too tight)

I mean, that would be towards the top of my list of watches I'd wear in space.
