Space launch and there’s a watch!

Watching the space launch and noticed one of the astronauts wearing a watch. Thought I could use some help from the experts here on the forum to figure it out. Good luck

Nice! I’m watching the stream now, very interesting to hear how everything pieces together for the eventual launch and orbit.

It's a nice watch. measures big, wears small and weighs nothing.

Omega's wake in space is very elongated.
That's why the Speedmaster is the most important chronograph in history, without a doubt.
