4:55 - The most amazing tests for this watch model were probably the acceleration test to 7.25 G x 5 minutes and then to 16 G for 30 sec, and the shock resistance test of six 40 G shocks in 6 directions. These watches were built probably stronger than most tanks.

Loved this video! I have a vintage 1976 Speedmaster Pro "moonwatch" as well as a few modern ones (one standard as used by NASA for EVA, one with sapphire display caseback, and finally a Limited Edition with panda dial).

anyone ever seen one of those "radio dial" ones before? I believe thats the real treasure never been available to the public
@billmedic1995 2 ай бұрын
It’s “radial” dial, as in radius. It refers to the way the numerals are configured around the subdials. Super rare variant.

Im just curious… does hesalite crystals can really withstand 250 fahrenheit?
@dagsabot5589 6 жыл бұрын
I wonder how you keep from cracking the crystal as it protrudes so much from the case?

I wonder how the "plastic Hasilite" crystal didn't melt at 250 degrees.

“The Jiminy days...” I was thinking Jiminy Cricket - he meant Gemini

The German engineers called it "Gem en eeee" not "Gem en eye".. It's just the way we grew up hearing it called.

He means Gemini right? Can someone tell him how to pronounce it?
@giveML 5 жыл бұрын
You can pronounce Gemini either way.
@fortsonre 4 жыл бұрын
Yep, all the old timers at NASA pronounced it that way.
