After doing some research today on the watches worn by Scott Kelly during his year long mission on board the International Space Station, I thought it was finally time to share this great piece signed shorty after his return.

This piece is not included as part of my Speedmaster case back collection and was signed prior to him becoming a Breitling ambassador. The Speedmaster case back signed by Kelly marks his, at the time, record breaking Year-in-Space (340 days) on board the International Space Station. Kelly's record stay in space was later eclipsed by Mark Vande Hei by 15 days in March 2022.

Kelly touched down on the snow-covered steppe of Kazakhstan on board Russia's Soyuz TMA-18M spacecraft. His landing on March 2, 2016 at 04:25 UTC, marked the historic completion of his 340-day expedition.

If anyone can get Artemis signatures, it's you.

I'm sure you're working on a plan now.

Congrats on this new edition. Very cool.
