Hi,
I have been searching for one of these for years and finally ebay came good. I had one of these watches when I was about 12.
I also think that the watch that came with the Spacex 2 LEM was the same as this, I know that was a Newmark watch but the graphic is identical.
On the LEM gift set box, it refers to a sweep module. That is what this watch has, the second hand is in the form of a clear disc with an Apollo csm on it that goes round once a minute!
Mine works too!

I recall seeing these watches, draped over the Spacex LEM in a shop window! Never got one though, great find Kev! Bill
ReplyDeleteWhat, were they draped over loose LEMS? Or boxed?

DeleteWhat a great watch. I certainly had nothing like that.
ReplyDeleteI know I had a Timex watch.
ReplyDeleteWell worth the wait for this terrific vintage timepiece, Kevin. A very cool find.
ReplyDeleteThanks folks. Yep it has only taken me half a century!
ReplyDeleteLate but no less sincere - many congrats on finding that Kevin! You'll be over the moon I think. :)

Thanks. Pleased to have it but surprised that, oddly, it no longer seems to fit my wrist!
DeleteHa ha!
