路$46,812 for the EVA Speedmaster, and $7562 for the NASA issued X-33. Not bad for a world on economic lockdown?

路That鈥檚 a nice little charm to know when you look down at it - that it鈥檚 been outside of this earth, that鈥檚 pretty special...

路Seems like a good price for a speedy that鈥檚 been used in space, compared to other watches that cost 45-50k. The problem is it doesnt have any markings and looks like every other speedy!
Thats what attracts me to the X-33's I think they are cheap at twice the price. A bit more provenance from NASA saying exactly where they have been and with who would be the cherry on the cake.

路Let's never forget ... The X-33 remains a chronograph with a quartz heart 馃

路Coming back on the fact we could hardly find a photograph of this Speedmaster on Budarin's wrist in flight...
It certainly looks like it was common practise for cosmonauts to keep an Omega Speedmaster chronograph onboard the space station so it could be used by other colleagues as I bumped in a few examples in both Salyut - and Mir space station era.
