Lt. Col. Michael Anderson wearing an Invicta Pro Diver during a space flight in 2003. Sadly, he was part of the crew killed in the Columbia disaster. I came across this photo while researching Speedmasters on Robert Jackson's Watches Used in Space Database, which is a fun an interesting resource that's worth checking out if you haven't.

RIP Col. Anderson.

Huge respect for the man. The Invicta, not so much.
