We have about 800 forest fires happening right now in Canada producing a massive cloud of smoke that’s stretching across the country and causing the sun to appear like a firey red ball! Happy Speedy Tuesday friends! 👍
I thought I might join the legion of those exhibiting Speedmasters, in honour of it being Speedy Tuesday, and the 52nd anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission. I opened the vault to retrieve a Speedmaster, and this one winked at me! 😉 An Accutron from about 1971, so it’s about 50 years old. I’m guessing at the vintage, because the case back is a replacement, and the date letter might be wrong. The fumed dial seems correct for that era. Kind of a distinctive look, I feel.
It's not very often that I pick up this watch after a few months and it has exactly the right date/day (actually, has never happened to me before), but when it does do I have a choice but to set the time, wind and wear it? So that's my watch for the day.
