Seiko Watch Prospex SPEEDTIMER Solar Chronograph Large Silver SBDL117

Introducing a new product inspired by the first generation Speed Timer model featuring a dial color that is full of originality.
The iconic bright yellow dial color and red/blue color tachymeter scale aluminum bezel display is inspired by the original 1969 model. Original Model Details:
On November 16, 1973, NASA Astronaut William Porg entered the Saturn Rocket in the pocket of the space uniform pants.
This watch is part of the world’s first automatic chronograph calibre 6139 Seiko “Five Sport Speed Timer” series, which started its sale since spring 1969. Porg bought it at the Air Base vendor for $71.
Seiko watches are not NASA certified.
However, when flight training begins, Porg trained flight with Seiko, as the official watches were still not provided by astronauts.
“When using a rotating bezel to measure the burning time of the rocket engine, this Seiko was so useful.” Porg thought “I want to use Seiko in the universe, and decided to be a personal personal personal companion to the mission.
And in the actual space station, the right wrist is an official NASA watch and Seiko on the left wrist for work.
Despite it was not specs to withstand the space environment, it seems to accurately show the time even in zero-gravity spaces.
Porg’s chosen watch features a bright yellow dial and vivid design that never looks old even after nearly 50 years of launch, and still looks attractive
Porg successfully circles the Earth 1214 on this mission of Skylove 4 and served the mission of a space station for up to 84 days of space stay.
Porg loved this watch for a long time after taking off the space uniform, but in 2008, he decided to take the watch to the auction. And given the full amount of bills to the Astronaut Scholarship Foundation.
