路Hi JimlnOz
Oh ! No Jim .You are NOT allowed to Google all night looking for answers

To my understanding the Russian Space Agency & The Yuri Gagarin Space Training Academy had officially adopted Fortis as their Official Space watch for all their Russian trained Cosmonauts & Soyuz missions since 1994 first used in the MIR space station then the ISS
The Fortis Official Cosmonauts Chronograph is the Lemania based Cal 5100 Ref 602.22.142 is not exactly pretty but super rare highly collectible & not in production anymore. Sheikh also wore the Fortis Flieger GMT & the Sub while conducting Zero Gravity Experiments devised by a local Malaysian University. Why Sub ? Why Not ? Can you see the unmistakable Oyster bracelet he was wearing just before boarding Soyuz ? I think he was allowed a personnel item or two on board the ISS

Only one I ever met and had a drink with was Paul Scully-Power, I don't know what watch he was wearing in space though.

路I'll go out on a limb and suggest the picture might be Peggy's Cove, Nova Scotia?
Yup, Peggy's Cove it is..... I stood on the waters edge with a ton of expensive equipment and took my time taking a nice shot while my wife stood in the middle of the road behind me and snapped the flawless picture shown over my shoulder in about 2 seconds with a $50 Kodak. I could have cried when I got the prints.
I got rid of my SLR equipment and kept the wife.

We were there in 1979. When we arrived, the cove was engulfed in a pea soup fog! Visibility maybe 100'! We visited the gift shop for a short time. And when we went back outside, the fog had lifted, and the visibility was about one mile. I took a picture which included more sheds on the left and right, and a gravel road right about where you were standing, showing in the foreground. I sent the slide to Kodak to have a print made. They cropped the negative to show just about the same shot your wife took, and printed it suitable for an 8 1/2 " x 11 " frame. It's my favourite picture ever! Cudos to your good lady! She's worth keeping!
