The updated models feature the details that Wally Schirra liked so much: the symmetrical case, the gray-blue dial, the fine alpha hands and the dark aluminum tachymeter bezel. Of course, like space technology, watchmaking innovation has progressed considerably since the 1960s. Each model returned to orbit benefits from the high degree of precision, performance and magnetic resistance of the Co-Axial Master Chronometer caliber 3861 For the relevance of the historical homage, the winding remains manual and the dial is protected by a hesalite-style glass. This transparent material, very common at the time, has been improved with an anti-scratch and anti-reflective treatment on both sides.

What differences should we remember between this collection offered on a steel or black or brown leather bracelet and the extremely famous Moonwatch inspired by the fourth generation of Speedmaster? The diameter (39.7 mm versus 42 mm), vintage sand-colored luminescence and a manual movement only, while the Moonwatch also exists in an automatic version. But whether we decide to go back in time to 1962 or 1969, this watchmaking journey will take place under the sign of mechanical excellence and an inimitable style forged by space exploration!
