Re: The Beauty and Symmetry of the Dial on

: the " Moon to Mars " model. I took off my Tutima military
: commando II this morning and wound up my "Moon to Mars'.
: This is a dial loaded with color contrasts, the earth as the
: big, blue marble, with the moon cold and grey, while the planet
: Mars fired up the imagination of 'red'. It was on Christmas Eve
: 1968 that the Apollo 8 crew captured one of the most famous of
: all NASA's photo shots. First in black and white, as the earth
: began too move out of the moon's shadow, then hurriedly loaded
: color film and captured half of the big, blue marble coming out
: of the moon's shadow. I feel fortunate to know one of those
: three men. He shot the original black and white photo.
: Next time you're at an AD and they have a "Moon to Mars"
: model take a look at the dial. See what you think.

Its a nice watch although not popular. I've enjoyed mine.
