·Interest seems to have died down on these.
Just had a look at the new one online.
Is this the Ed White tribute we've been waiting 10 years for @TLIGuy ? 🥺
This seems insane:
"This timepiece features two unique counters at 10 and 2 o’clock. The first indicates the number 19 (normally 60) at the top, while the other displays the number 65 (normally 10), referencing the year 1965. These counters have been calibrated to total 19 hours (counter at 10 o’ clock) and 65 minutes (counter at 2 o’ clock), making the chronograph reading a bit different than the typical chronographs. The numbers 19, 65 and 60 (on the counter at 6 o’clock) glow blue under UV light, paying tribute to the OMEGA Speedmaster and the flight qualification it received from NASA, 60 years ago, in 1965."
There's a video on the Swatch site of how it works.
Just doesn't seem logical.
