Don't know if besides the Omega Speedmaster, Fortis and Rolex topics, we're allowed another astronaut topic ?
But those were tool watch topics 😁

Herewith two official 1964 NASA portraits in which Scott Carpenter and Donn Eisele wore rectangular dress watches.
Note Scott Carpenter even wore the tiny watch on a steel mesh Jacoby Bender Champion bracelet!
Any ID on these little gems ?

The golden watch might be Hamilton or Gruen with those dials with color sector changes with a flip of the wrist.

I think we can consider an 18k DeVille chronograph as a dress watch. And then there's the other stuff 😀

A couple of years ago we have identified the little wrist watch which was always worn by surgical aerospace nurse Lieutenant Dolores Dee O'Hara as a little Lady Elgin Diamond women's watch.
This time another reminder of the cute little square "dress" wrist watch often seen on Scott Carpenter's wrist and sometimes a similar square watch worn by Neil Armstrong.
Any ideas what make these little "dress" watches could have been ?
