Watch Description

LIMITED & NUMBERED EDITION OF 1962 PIECES!Commemorating Scott Carpenter's extraordinary accomplishment of orbiting the earth 3 times aboard the Aurora 7 capsule - this happened on May 24, 1962. The watch of choice that Mr. Carpenter wore was a Navitimer with a 24 Hour dial - which was necessary as in space there is no night or day. The watch helped distinguish between AM & PM back on earth.

Polished finished stainless steel case.

Solid black dial with silver sub-dials
