路...stopped by the local OB tonight and the staff was amazed that our community already had the reference number of this piece... and as a result, I got to take a look at the (in)famous extranet as well!!
Still no picture though, haha. 馃槜

路What if the gold in the watch that everyone is complaining about is going to be white gold and the actual watch would look pretty similar to this one!

路Well it looks like the Speedy 50th will indeed have the moonshine bezel and a lunar module patch in gold in the seconds dial.

I鈥榤 a big fan of original engineering Test Reports, preferably from NASA or one of its first tier sub-contractors, rather than second hand info from watch sites. Qualification testing for intra-vehicle, low earth orbit (before the Van Allen belts) application might not be as stringent as EVA or longer-range missions. Alternatively NASA might have simply performed a FMEA and determined them to be not hazardous to flight, therefore permissible.

路No worries. I wasn鈥檛 questioning whether the things are in space (clearly they are), just surprised that commercial grade Personal Electronic Devices could pass a deep(er) space Qual test. Hell, most of the COTS electronics I see wouldn鈥檛 even pass commercial airliner flyable part qualification.
I agree. I also prefer the romanticism of the original mechanical timepiece rather than a digital one, in space!

路I've been thinking that over the last couple of months a lot of people have been getting their panties in a bunch over the launch of one watch, but are there any significant updates to other watches in the line up? I've not seen anything on other new models or updates, but I would welcome a deep black PO in 43.5mm size, perhaps even with a ceramic bracelet.

路I have been told by my AD that there will be at least one new PO with an orange bezel! He can't give anymore details.

PS: one thing they have in common is the A11 50th is nearly invisible too 馃槈
