Watches worn in space
Hi guys,

Thanks Robert for a nice read.
Seeing the photo of the Seiko, bought back lots of memories, as this was probably the first watch that got me really hooked on this passion of ours!!

The seiko is a very nice watch - I've got a Seiko 5 in a very similar style.

Anyone ever see that Seiko Spring Drive they made for that space mission in 2007 or 2008? Big watch as I recall (50mm or so) but very nice looking. I thought they were going to sell a couple hundred in limited release but never heard of them doing so.

Found a pic while researching of an astronaut wearing 2 of the spring drive seikos at the same time. Will see if I can find it again
