·1965-2025 marks 60 years Glycine Airman automatic in spaceflight...
Just a quick reminder we'll have to put the Glycine Airman automatic pilot watch in the spotlights this year as in the spring of 1965 NASA astronaut Charles "Pete" Conrad started Gemini training with his Glycine Airman automatic and flew it on both Gemini V (August 1965) and Gemini XI (September 1966) spaceflight mssions.
During the latter, Conrad's Glycine Airman Automatic pilot watch was directly exposed to outer space during Richard Gordon's EVAs.

··So on and so on and scoobie doobie doo
Possible. Looks close. Looks a little slim but that might be the angle.
The bracelet looks correct, although there's a gap between the watch head and end link.

·I have an Airman 2000 World Timer I got in 2008. It was my second automatic and first 24hr watch. It needs servicing and I don't trust the outfit in Utah. I think it's a top grade ETA 2893-2 that's slightly decorated with rotor adornment and display back. I'm thinking of taking it to my local guy, let him install some kit gaskets and he should be able to rebuild the rotor as required.

·60 years ago... Glycine Airman automatic in space...
Often asked if there're good photos of NASA astronaut Charles Pete Conrad's personal Glycine Airman automatic pilot watch worn in space (August 1965 & September 1966).
There're literally dozens of photos showing Charles Pete Conrad's personal Glycine Airman automatic pilot watch, both for Gemini V and Gemini XI, during the latter his Glycine Airman became the very first automatic wrist watch to be directly exposed to outer space (during Richard Gordon's EVA as the capsule was completely open).
MoonwatchUniverse has about 30 photos online...Here's a sample of NASA photos for both Gemini V & Gemini XI showing the Glycine Airman. For further info, see the Space Watches Facebook Group... 🫡
