    Hey guys,

    Just grabbed two pictures from a NYT article of astronaut Anne McClain wearing a watch and was wondering if you could help me confirm the watches she is wearing:

    On the ground: a X-33 skywalker

    That to me looks like a Flightmaster case...so modern day Spacemaster?

    Isn’t it the shadow of the case that makes it look like a Spacemaster? That watch is much thicker than a skywalker, no?

    Yeah...on better look : scratch that! The lugs are clearly quad's on either end of the strap. Can't be a X33 either...

    X-33 Skywalker ahoy! (and a Werenback on the wrist of David Saint-Jacques)

    @MTROIS

    Launch and recovery will always be an external Speedmaster Pro.
