Congrats! I think this is the best looking Ball Chronograph, it sure beats the Hydrogen Chrono and the Skylab on aesthetics. Enjoy it.

Hey Fellow Montrealer, this is an awsome watch! Can't beat the glow on these.
Is there any meaning for the astronaut in the back?

Good catch. I just noticed that as well. I would have expected a railroad, train, or something of that nature.

That is a handsome chronograph. A lot of them are cluttered looking; this one is a good design.

Boscoe: You have to wait a few minutes for the picture to load. Give it time, and it will appear.

"The Fireman Ionosphere watch was born as a collaboration between Ball Watch designers and engineer and NASA astronaut Dr. Owen Garriott, who spent a lot of time on deep sea research missions, Antactic expeditions and who first launched into space as the scientist-pilot for the Skylab III mission. Based on his wide knowledge, Dr.Owen Garriott has worked with the Ball Watch designers to create the specifications for this professional watch."

(from a description of a listing on the bay) Steve That's a fairly good description from that eBayer. But it gets better than that. This particular spacesuit was designed & tested with Owen's help while he was still with NASA. Also, he was quite involved in the Shuttle program, though he did not go on any of those missions. |
