Interesting, looks old skool with the LED.
Hmm, I remember rumours of X33 replacement.
I thought it was gonna represent the X37b space plane.
Thats a big mofo, not sure but I think I prefer the X33 over this.
Maybe it'll grow, I do like the case, but its huge.

It makes the Helson Gauge look svelte!
Maybe all that empty space inside allows for storage of extra oxygen inside the case.
Never know when you might run out of oxygen while flying your jet... or space shuttle. Maybe that's what one of the 10 crowns is for - O2 release valve.
A shot of this watch with the caseback removed must be laughable.

That's an interesting looking piece with roots deeply seated in two predecessors which were actually made for aerospace flight operations (unlike the Speedmaster). While I respect the Speedmaster, the original design was built for...well speed; while these two were built for a specific purpose and both were actually used in space travel.

Yeah, 20mm is
way too big for me.
Too bad, because I mostly like the rest of it.
The one other thing I find odd is the 21mm lug width. Kinda narrows down the strap/bracelet options.
Mind you I remember seeing pictures of Apollo astronauts with some sloppy fitting mesh bracelets, so maybe a 20mm mesh would work.
