Could Not Have Been in NASA Testing . . .
In Response To: Hamilton Count-Down ()


These are nice watches, but -- with all respect -- none of these Caliber 12 powered chronos could have been in the NASA testing, in which the Omega Speedmaster (321) was selected. By the time that the Caliber 12 was in full serial production, man had already walked on the moon (or was well on his way)!!

These are cool watches . . . I had one, and sold it, as it did not meet the legibility requirements . . . for all the steel that you will lug around, the numbers and letters are too small (IMHO).
