Hey, should that coffee be near . . . the Speedmaster!?! What if you spill it? I guess that it could be a problem for those flight controls too, but what about the watch!?! 😁

Darn, mind if I ask that seiko # that’s a beast. Would it be hard to find? Yay!
Hehe...mine's a 7C46-7009 from 1986, but there is a rich history of Tuna models from 1975 through the present that should fit most budgets, including affordable modern Solar models. There's a real rabbit hole, cult-like experience awaiting anyone who digs into these on the Internet. This enthusiast did a particularly good job of listing them:

Note that the early '80s predecessor to mine, the 7549-7009 was a Bond-worn model in 1981's For Your Eyes Only.


Here's a fun comparison to my choice for this morning, my Timex 21 from the 60s...YaY!
