Astronauts' Life And Death Partners - Omega Speedmaster

 On July 20, 1969, Apollo 11 astronaut Neil Armstrong stepped onto the lunar surface, achieving the great feat of the first human landing on the moon. About 15 minutes later, his partner, astronaut Buzz Aldrin, also successfully stepped onto the lunar surface wearing a Speedmaster watch. This news made the entire aerospace industry excited! So far, in this legendary moon landing mission, the Speedmaster Professional watch became the first watch worn by humans on the moon. The first "Moon Watch" was born, and the design style of the fourth-generation Speedmaster watch is the prototype of what we call the "Moon Watch" today.

 In April 1970, three NASA astronauts Jim Lovell, Jack Swigert and Fred Haise went to the moon with great expectations, but the Apollo 13 spacecraft they were carrying suddenly encountered an oxygen tank explosion when it flew 322,000 kilometers from the earth's surface. The astronauts' oxygen supply was interrupted, the service module, which was responsible for the most orbit change tasks in the entire flight mission, was severely damaged, and the main power supply was also seriously damaged.

The biggest challenge facing the three astronauts and the ground command center was to correct the orbit so that the severely damaged spacecraft could return to the earth in the correct orbit. However, the automatic azimuth adjustment system could no longer function properly at this time and could only be operated manually by the astronauts. The astronauts needed extremely precise time to start the engine to adjust the orientation of the spacecraft. If a mistake was made, there were only two consequences: either the spacecraft was burned out; or the spacecraft was bounced back into space by the atmosphere. Both results point to one ending: no chance of survival. At the moment of life and death, the Omega Speedmaster watch played a huge role. Astronaut Jack Swigert used his Speedmaster Professional watch to accurately time the engine ignition for 14 seconds, while Commander Jim Lovell started and shut down the engine accurately as required. The perfect and accurate timing operation enabled Apollo 13 to land safely in the Pacific Ocean and the three astronauts to return to Earth safely.

In October 1970, NASA awarded the Omega Speedmaster series professional chronograph the Snoopy Award in recognition of its contribution to saving Apollo 13 from danger. This award is the highest honor NASA gives to individuals or groups who have made outstanding contributions to the US space exploration mission. To commemorate this milestone flight mission, Omega has launched a number of "Snoopy" commemorative watches. Among them, the Speedmaster series "Snoopy Award" 50th Anniversary Commemorative Watch released in 2020 quickly became a "star" once it was launched due to its super high appearance and was highly sought after by the market.

 

Omega Turquoise - Seamaster Aqua Terra 150m

Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra 150m, 38mm and 41mm dual-size models, with a stainless steel case carrying a turquoise gradient lacquered dial. The color design of the watch is inspired by the charming ocean: the lacquered dial presents a gradient effect of turquoise and black, and the transition from turquoise to black at the edge is like looking down at the light and shadow of the sea from the top of the mountain. With gray PVD three-dimensional hands and hour markers, both are covered with white Super-Luminova luminous coating, which turns into a glimmer of underwater light in the dark night, and can still provide clear time information for the wearer in dim environments.

Both watches continue the symmetrical design language of the Aqua Terra 150 watch, and both have a calendar display window at 6 o'clock. The bracelet is double-brushed and polished, taking into account the comfort and exquisiteness of commuting wear. Of course, you can also freely choose different straps to give the watch your own unique flavor. Choosing a watch that moves the ocean to the dial in summer is a good choice.

In terms of internal performance, the 38mm model is equipped with the Master Chronometer Calibre 8800 (55 hours of power reserve), while the 41mm model is equipped with the Master Chronometer Calibre 8900 (60 hours of power reserve). Both are Swiss METAS certified and have anti-magnetic properties of up to 15,000 Gauss, accurately meeting the daily needs of “urban sailors”.

Breitling Top Time Is Back On The Track

The Breitling Top Time is back on the track—with full throttle and a return to the most daring designs of the 1960s. The newly released Top Time Racing and Top Time Martini Racing chronographs evoke the eclectic elements of the era: striking cushion-shaped cases, squared-off subdials, and distinctive instrument panel designs. Two of the watches bring to life the passion of rallying, while the other, a collaboration with the Martini Racing team, captures the energy of the racetrack. The best Breitling Top Time replica watches at captainthewatch.is.

Racing has been part of the Breitling story since the dawn of the automobile. Whether on a winding rally track or a high-speed racetrack, the pursuit remains the same—beating the clock, setting new records, and pushing the limits. Now, Breitling is launching three limited-edition Top Time chronographs for racing enthusiasts: two dedicated to the adventurous spirit of rallying, and one created in collaboration with the Martini Racing team. The watches feature a sturdy 38 mm case that strikes a perfect balance between classic proportions and modern performance.

Rally racing is a challenge of precision under high pressure: full control of the environment, decisions made in milliseconds, pushing both driver and car to the limit. The new Top Time Racing chronograph condenses this spirit on the wrist, recreating the perseverance and glory of the days of fighting against the clock, the terrain and the elements. The legendary Martini Racing team is highly respected in the field, and few names can match it. For more than 50 years, the iconic body stripes have been the first to cross the finish line, which not only clearly distinguishes the team, but also leaves competitors far behind.

Audemars Piguet's New Generation Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar 7138

Audemars Piguet's new generation Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar 7138 is the first to use a crown to adjust all functions of the perpetual calendar by switching the crown's multiple gears, further solving the problem of previous perpetual calendars being difficult to adjust because of multiple calendars. Yes, you read that right, one crown to adjust all functions, Audemars Piguet's first, other famous watch perpetual calendars can't do it. Best Audemars Piguet Royal Oak clone watches online, buy replica watches at firstwatchclone.co.

In the past, there were two main ways to adjust the perpetual calendar. Either the case has a hidden button, but the disadvantage is that you need to use a needle (or toothpick) to press it, which destroys the beauty of the case and is not conducive to waterproofing; or you use the crown to adjust it with one button, but the disadvantage is that you can only adjust it one day forward each time by twisting it. If you need to adjust it for half a year or several months, it is very troublesome. OK, now the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar 7138 is here.

Making it easier to adjust the watch and keeping the case intact are the two most difficult problems for perpetual calendars. Even Patek Philippe, which is best at perpetual calendars/perpetual calendar timing, has not been able to solve this problem so far, and still relies on the hidden button in the case. Audemars Piguet's huge innovation in the perpetual calendar this time has made Patek Philippe's perpetual calendar watch inferior.

The crown positions of the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar 7138 are as follows.

Crown, do not pull out: twist the crown to wind it.

Crown, pull out one gear: twist forward to adjust the calendar; twist back to adjust the month.

Crown, pull out the second gear: adjust the time.

Crown, return from the second gear to the first gear: turn forward to adjust the day of the week; turn back to adjust the moon phase.
