TAG Heuer Mens Carrera Calibre 16 Day Date

TAG Heuer Mens Carrera Calibre 16 Day Date
A great tribute to american astronaut John Glenn who was first American to orbit earth wearing a Heuer stop watch modified with a wrist strap. Set 20 sec past served as back up for Apollos Friendship 7 systems, hence, the first Swiss watch in space 1962. This mission was showcased in the book to movie adaptation, Hidden Figures. In July 1969, another Heuer stopwatch would time the descent of The Eagle to the surface of the moon. Both of these Heuer stopwatches are on display in the Smithsonian Museum. Excellent craftsmanship/time piece/complications...when time matters.

Todays design with silver dial reflects hues that of the moon. Picture is worth a thousand words.

Highly recommend.
Thanks Navy Exchange for your service.
