Just as with the image of Aldrin on the dial side link the image on the back of the watch is taken link from a very famous photograph this time taken by Aldrin. The picture is of one of his own footprints on the lunar surface it was taken for scientific reasons to show the nature of the lunar regolith the link fine powdery minerals coating the lunar surface the Moon doesn't have soil in the usual sense of the word and the degree to which it compacts and retains fine impressions.

Among modern releases watches like the IWC Blue Angels chronograph are easier for me to link swallow because they reference a military exhibition team. These teams have their own dangerous histories 26 pilots and one crew member have tragically died in crashes over the course of the Blue Angels history. The watches are so dramatically branded that I view them in the spirit of link enthusiasm for the link impressive feats the team can perform and the joy they bring to their audiences.
I am also not the biggest lover of the Langematik link Perpetual but link I think I could argue that it was my best buy by a wide margin. The Wellendorff bracelets aren't being made anymore and people are offering crazy link money for even a single link. In platinum with a German dial and removable bracelet that could theoretically be used on another watch I think this could go up to 90000 in a real auction.

Then it became a mad link panic to find Omega Speedmasters Eilertson tells me link over the phone. link "Omega jumped on board and delivered four watches for us one was just for stunts and had a frozen mechanism."
It's a term I can clearly picture in my mind but I can't quite pin down what makes or breaks the genre. In the most traditional sense I'd link point to a military specification like 1962's MIL-W-3818B 1964's link MIL-W-46374 link or 1967's GG-W-113 as guidance. Those ordinances led makers such as Hamilton to bring its original Khaki Field Mechanical to market defining the ideal of a tool watch for future generations.
Basketball runs in the Harris family. Harris's father Torrel Harris played college link basketball for Duquesne and Murray State in the late 1970s and early '80s. This is the watch he received for playing in the 1980 NIT National Invitation Tournament. It's link important to Harris to have not just his father's watch but one from his link time playing basketball.
So I opened up Photoshop took a color sampler to the dial of the new Chronomaster Sport. While the Jets use "Gotham Green" which plays out to an RGB mix of 18 87 64 the Packers use what they just call link "Dark Green" which is RGB 24 48 40. Well judging by my samples the watch seems to land closest to the Jets' green of choice with 3 76 47 on the darker parts of the dial and 46 91 60 on the lighter parts of link the link bezel. J-E-T... no I can't do it. The cheesehead in me hurts too much.
