Furthermore, Wubbo replica breitling Navitimer Moonphase Chronograph watches Ockels emailed me

Furthermore, Wubbo replica breitling Navitimer Moonphase Chronograph watches Ockels emailed me the serial number of his specific Seiko A829-A6019 (which he still wears): 334602.Perhaps a Seiko collector or owners of the Seiko A829-A6019 Astronaut can look up their serial numbers and see how far they are away from the one that made it into orbit.Make sure to visit the Seiko forum over at WatchUseek.Just a few days ago, I reported that the Seiko A829-A6019 was one of the other watches that went into space. Besides the official Omega Speedmaster Pro and a bunch of other unofficial watches that made replica breitling Navitimer ChronoMatic watches it there, it seems that Seiko was at least selected by astronauts.Former astronaut Wubbo Ockels mailed me the other day, that the Seiko A829-A6019 (and he also wrote there is a A0 behind this reference number) was selected by a couple of astronauts and they arranged a nice procurement deal for this specific type of watch.

It seems that the Seiko handed out to the astronauts of mid-1980s missions, is the digital chrono A829-6019 model as pictured below. It was available in two versions, the SMGG11 and the SMGG13 (black bezel and LCD inlay).The picture above was found on The Digital Watch Library and it says that this watch was produced in 1982. Furthemore, the website states that these watches have not been replica breitling Sports Series Chronograph watches ; or selected by NASA, and were only personal choices made by the astronauts themselves. However, Dutch astronaut Wubbo Ockels cleary states in an interview in a recent magazine (belonging to HP De Tijd) that he received his one from NASA.I found one on eBay, click here. It is currently on there for $425, is that too much to ask for NASA equipment?Yesterday, replica omega Seamaster Planet Ocean Chr watches I blogged about the Dutch astronaut wearing a Seiko during his STS61A mission in 1985.
