FS: Most rare NASA Speedmaster astronaut band by JB Champion *PIC*

The most rare JB Champion brick mesh sliding bracelet originally worn by the astronauts on their Speedmasters in the 1960s. This example has the straight ends featured in photos of actual NASA watches as shown in the 1960s.

The band is used but in excellent condition. It has been ultrasonically cleaned and lightly hand-polished. The spring-loaded ends are 19mm wide. This is the ultimate band for the earlier no-crown guard Omega Pre-Pro Speedmaster models. Also looks great on a 20mm lug size later Omega Speedmaster Moon Watch. Signed "JB Champion Stainless Steel" on the back of the clasp and has the JB initials on the side of the clasp.

This NASA bracelet was made famous by Richard Gordon, Deke Slayton and other NASA officials on pre-Moon Speedmaster models in the 1960s as shown in many early NASA photos.

This bracelet is incredibly well-constructed and very comfortable to wear. If you have a big wrist, this will open up to as much as 8 1/2 inches, but it adjusts down to be open as little as 5 1/4 inches for smaller wrists.

Price is $995.
