Omega x-33 military pilot program

US Astronaut Don Pettit had the same problem and even posted a video to YouTube of the distinctly warranty-busting repair job he did with his Leatherman. Like every other Gen 1 X, the case is Grade 2 satin titanium, has a unidirectional bezel and that winding crown that doubles as a pusher.

And, like every other X, the watch has the same functions of mission timing, chronograph, UTC, and a timer. And the watch comes with photos of Cosmonaut Budarin wearing his watch while writing and signing a letter of authentication.

Space watches — particularly models that have flown — are necessarily rare with prices to match. RR certainly have form when it comes to selling space watches.

But space collectors are determined people and the number of flown watches is about as limited as it gets. RR Auctions.

Damnit, I have wanted one of these for years.

Even though the price went up recently, it's still a steal. When do you need a decision by? I'll have to do a final count but i think we are only people away from having enough to order. I'll have them all shipped to me then ship them out to you guys since they have to go to 1 address there will be no tax since I'm in DE. Okay, we are at 11 solid orders right now, 13 if we can change the design up for some people, still need 4 more I was just about to pull the trigger on a Breitling Aerospace too Has anyone actually seen one of these in person?

I tried to get a group buy together a few years back, the restriction was that all buyers had to be military flyers, and at least the lead buyer had to be a pilot. We were going to go with a unit patch, but never got it all together I think I remember that all of the designs had to be the same, but didn't remember exactly.

You can count me in, possibly depending on the restrictions on the engraving on the case. I'd prefer to just have my name on there, so if that's a go then I'd be in. You need to be a member in order to leave a comment. Sign up for a new account in our community.
