A friend of mine has a family friend who was up in 1999. I’m trying to get info from him but this is what this gentleman wore, inside of course

 

Bit of an overdue update to this thread, but I couldn't help but notice what was dangling off both the wrist of the cosmonauts in yesterday's VKD-47 spacewalk. The time was set to UTC too apparently, which was a cool tidbit to help verify that the stream I was watching was indeed live.

 

I've never seen any other watch on an EVA, except for 'that' Bulova.

 

Seiko Spacewalk too. There is a thread about it here somewhere ...

 

Here's an overview of wristwatches used during EVA - spacewalks:
Remark: In March 1965, Alexei Leonov wore his Strela "Arrow" chronograph underneath the Berkut spacesuit !

First time I've seen the long Omega OEM Velcro strap used on an EVA. The Omega Velcro straps have occasionally been seen on the watches during launch on the exterior of the Sokol suit but typically during EVAs the watches are on black elastic straps.

 

Oh, very interesting. I would have thought that they might have just gone and produced a velcro strap in-house to their own specifications, but using the Omega strap right of the box - means that's good enough, I guess?

 

I did an EVA outside of my beloved 2007 Ford Police Interceptor vehicle wearing my beloved 1964 Echo Whiskey today...

NOTE: The original papers [sorry, no original box] for my beloved 2007 Ford Police Interceptor vehicle are on the passenger seat...see first pic below. I display the original papers during car shows and cruise events...and guess what...nobody cares...and that makes me cry.

 

+1
Indeed it is!

 

Sorry, but haven't you recently revised this to a -63?

 

...........

EDIT - I didn't either but I do notice those Dunkin cups you seem to have in all your posts. ...

 

MS-17





Funny detail...



... watch is upside down

 

Yeppers...just because we’re not in space doesn’t mean we can’t do EVAs. So...I did another EVA [in my driveway] a few minutes ago...modern Speedy Gonzales Moonwatch on its original Omega Velcro NASA strap...good times!

 

I notice the DD badge on your boot (trunk)...outstanding!

 

Mad Dog, I care!

I love that that kind of stuff! It's always great to see any sort of supporting documents, paperwork, original window stickers, or factory showroom brochures when admiring a cool car. I imagine that your Police Interceptor is more uncommon than are lots of collectible cars out there, what with being an original and babied one owner and being non-agency-owned.

 

Good spot - Thanks for kicking starting this off again :0)

 

The watch is cool and all... but are you wearing Wallabees? Dang now that’s cool

 

Correct...Clarks Wallabees. I wore [Thom McAn?] knock-off Wallabees during high school and college from the late 1970s through the mid 1980s. Finally got a pair of Clarks about 2 years ago.

 

My dad wore Clark’s Wallabees in the 70’s, the low cut ones. Lately I’ve been wearing Astorflex desert boots having worn cheap ones in high school in the 80’s. But I’m hankering for a pair of Wallabees! If they’re good enough for Brad they’re good enough for me
