Hey, today is the 20th anniversary of the X-33! Yup, it was unveiled to the public at NASA鈥檚 Houston Space Center on March 28th, 1998 with a live TV transmission from MIR where they were already being worn.
I鈥檓 happy to have one with the original twin-pad red Kevlar strap...
...which is how it was presented in advertising.
(BTW, 3 pages later is an ad for a Palm Pilot!

Luv the watch or not, it cannot be denied that the X-33 served on a
lot of space missions. My favorite photo remains this ISS131/Expedition23 group shot where there are 8 X-33s visible.
Actually, if you study the mission pics
馃摉, there were 2 more being worn, but not visible in this pic.
Happy anniversary X-33!
