- Commemorative Details
- This watch was produced to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the July 1975 mission involving Tom Stafford. The caseback of the watch features a specifically engraved depiction of the Apollo and Soyuz spacecraft. The listing identifies the watch as a limited edition. The specific notation '1933/1975' is associated with the piece, though the source distinguishes this from the initial Apollo Soyuz release which was limited to 500 pieces.
- Case and Dial Construction
- The watch is constructed with a 42mm stainless steel case. It features a fixed tachymetre bezel surrounding a dial fabricated from meteorite. The meteorite material results in a unique pattern on each dial. The dial layout includes three meteorite sub-dials in a lighter shade, with the 9 o'clock position serving as the subsidiary seconds, the 3 o'clock for the 30-minute register, and the 6 o'clock for the 12-hour register. Applied polished baton indexes are positioned around the dial, complemented by luminous baton hands and an arrowhead centre chronograph seconds hand. An Apollo Soyuz logo is present on the dial surface, which also features outer minute and seconds divisions. The chronograph seconds divisions include 1/5 second markings.
- Movement and Functionality
- The watch utilizes a manually-wound calibre 1861 movement. The functional components include a chronograph, which is operated via push-pieces on the side of the case. The movement drives the central seconds hand and the three sub-registers. The timepiece is secured to the wrist by a stainless steel bracelet. The tachymetre scale allows for the measurement of speed based on the chronograph function.
