Watch Specs:
Year of manufacture: 1969
Bezel: “Dot over 90” is in good, vintage shape. It shows wear from use and has “ghosted” to a bluish hue.
Case: Original bevels are still quite visible on the twisted lugs. Possible light polish in the past.
Bracelet: Replica NASA velcro chronograph strap, made on period-correct machines with period-correct materials.
Movement: Calibre 861 Manually-Wound Chronograph Movement.
Watch movement has a one year SAGA warranty.
Sunglass Specs:
Manufactured by American Optical in Massachusetts, these glasses have been made the same way since before the Apollo missions. In fact, these glasses were worn during Mercury and Gemini, as well!
Lens: 52mm military green optical glass. Hardened for impact and scratch-resistance.
Temples: Bayonet-style with reproduced part and serial numbers, matching mission-worn glasses.
Flashlight Specs:
Turned from solid brass and equipped with a 100 lumen LED emitter, this light has been reproduced faithfully to the original ACR Electronics Company FA-5, but with a couple modern updates. With standard AA alkaline batteries, it has an eight hour run time at full use. It is laser engraved with the original parts number and is individually serialized.
AG7 Pen Specs:
Since 1968, the Fisher Space Pen has been an integral addition to every NASA mission. It writes upside down. It writes under water. It writes in microgravity. “TAKE THE PEN!”
Design Manual Specs:
While it may not be be pre-moon, this design manual is the magnum opus of the 1974 NASA rebranding. The design guidelines expressed in this book are on technical par with the movement in the speedmaster. The utterly comprehensive and painstakingly specific contents of this book were, until recently, unavailable to those without high level government clearance.
Beemans Gum Specs:
Discontinued in 1978, this chewing gum was lost to time… until this summer! Beemans is back and at hand for your your next mission. Classically chewed by astronauts and test pilots for good luck, this gum also had a practical purpose. Chuck Yeager tweeted (yes, he tweets at 96 years old and he’s exactly as gruff as you’d hope) that he chewed it to stave off dry mouth from having to breathe supplied 02. “Hey Ridley, got any Beemans?”
Ball Cap Specs:
Manufactured to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing, but you’d think it was made yesterday. It is 100% unworn and in as new condition. Snap Back. One size fits most.
Also Included:
Speedmaster Patch
Laminated pre-flight checklist with original part codes.
Hand-stamped, foam-padded travel tin for your speedmaster.
