·Negative, for two reasons:
1) I just reacquired an 1861.
2) NASA, being a government entity with a working (certified) chronometer, is under no pressure to certify an alternative. They will take the expedient way out and stick with what they have.

·THEN the 1861s with lugs polished to nubs and fantastic "patina*" on the dial will be commanding 9000usd?
*maybe the ultra rare "one pusher" variant?

·Going into the future it will be interesting to learn what gets used because the temperature , humidity ranges and gravity of the planet. Maybe the manual wind Speedmaster will still be out there.

·2030 man flight to Mars is not that far from today. the moonwatch selection was done in 1964/65
and the moon mission was achieved in 1969. preparation was 5 years in advance. mars is 7 months
in flight into space before reaching the surface. it could be a mixed watches mechanical and digital for
mars - speedy, apple or elon musk space-x watch. 😁😉

·If they were going to Mars today, there would be a lot of astronauts wearing random watches, mostly X-33's.
That said, yes it would 100% be the 3861. No Nasa would not go and track down 1861's.
Soon the 3861 will be the new standard. The 1861 was a great watch but the 3861 is truly amazing.

unless they are already purchased... just like the Apollo ones where years before the mission.

In all honesty, I doubt there will be an official watch or even a certified watch for external use on a Mars suit. If there is one, I doubt it will be mechanical. There is a lot of fear of dust issues on Mars, a more long-term fine dust exposure then the moon (which appears to be worse but less time,) leads to issues. We could see a x-33 or similar with a bit of hardening to emf and dust at the pushers.

I'd like to see a mars edition of the X33 or maybe just a new version of the X33.
Either way, if there was one. I'd be a buyer.
