Deilig å endelig få tilbake sommerklokken fra service!
IMO en av de aller peneste Omega noengang! Bortsett fra PO GMT Goodplanet! Lurer på hvem som på sonen får øynene opp for denne outsideren først? Kanskje meg . . . .
Speedy Thuesday ble Timex tirsdag - via Nasa
Timex Data Link

Astronauts have a choice of four watches that are certified to fly in space, says Stephanie Walker. Stephanie Walker is a subsystem manager for flight crew equipment at Johnson Space Center. These watches can be purchased at retail stores. "The certification process assures that they can perform and not self-destruct in the vacuum of space. With pressure variances and temperature extremes, watch components may expand, rupture, or crack, causing a potential hazard to the crew." Many materials are safe on Earth, but in space they may emit gases. These gases can contaminate the space atmosphere. This would cause a strain on the air recycling and purification systems.
"The old standby watch is the Omega® Speed Master watch," says Walker. Omega was made famous by Apollo astronauts as they conducted space walks.
The new watch for astronauts is the Timex® Ironman. This cutting-edge timepiece sells for less than $100. It has a light-emitting diode (LED) port to synchronize up to 10 alarms to the calendar of a personal computer, stores 38 telephone numbers, identifies messages, displays the time in two different time zones, and comes close to serving as a wrist computer, Walker says.
