    Came across this photo from a recent launch.

    And a link to a higher-res version:

    You can clearly see 3570's on the outside of the suits (with the unique Roscosmos strap) and X33's underneath. Onishi-san on the right has an X33 on his right wrist, underneath his sleeve (it's more clearly seen in other photos in the series)

    It's just a nice reminder that these still serve as tools for those who do something more interesting than staring at a computer screen all day.

    Is there confirmation that they are 3570's? I heard they never got certified

    Since these are Roscosmos standard issue and not NASA, I'm not exactly sure which model it is, except to say that i'm pretty sure they don't have sapphire casebacks

    In looking at a picture of Onishi-san signing the door it is definitely a Skywalker X-33 on titanium bracelet.
