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.

He was brave in many ways, not only did he show exceptional bravery by getting strapped into one of those bloody great firecrackers, he also showed bravery by strapping that Invicta to his wrist!
