It wasn't as if we needed a special edition Speedmaster to warrant featuring this icon for your weekend consumption – but it certainly didn't hurt. So, in the spirit of that shiny new chronograph, we've assembled a tight link list link of our favorite Speedmaster stories link from HODINKEE past that you can enjoy with your morning coffee after an evening of stargazing.

Wait, didn't Tudor just release a new carbon-cased chronograph for its Formula link 1 partnership? What do you mean there's another one? Not even a week link later? And this time, it's for its cycling partnership and ties to the Giro d'Italia? Well, all right; the more the merrier, I link guess.

Following the current generation of the Aerospace link EVO, the Aerospace B70 Orbiter edition has a 43mm titanium case and comes on your choice of a matching titanium bracelet link or a rubber strap. Possibly due to the balloon-laden sapphire case back, the Aerospace B70 Orbiter is 12.95mm thick, link vs. the 10.8mm thickness of the standard E79363 generation.

While we can’t link possibly check the wrists of all 180-plus starting cyclists, we can tell link you about a few heavy-hitters. (Note that these are watches worn while racing, as opposed to those spotted on the wrists of cyclists while living their civilian link lives.)
