The watch has been associated moreover to a mission as part of an Extra Vehicular Activity in the space.The external temperature of an EVA goes from +121 degrees when exposed to the sun to -157 degrees when the astronaut is in the shadow.If our timepieces have been tested since many years and in many occasions in the depth of various oceans, it is the very first time we have one of our watch in the space.We are glad that one of our timepiece has been selected for this activity.You will find below some pictures selected from the 7 hours of broadcasting.</BLOCKQUOTE> <center><a href="http://www.collectspace.com/review/panerai_eva_wristwatch01-lg.jpg" target="AirLock"><img src="http://www.collectspace.com/review/panerai_eva_wristwatch01.jpg" width="400" height="303" border="0"></a><a href="http://www.collectspace.com/review/panerai_eva_wristwatch02-lg.jpg" target="AirLock"><img src="http://www.collectspace.com/review/panerai_eva_wristwatch02.jpg" width="400" height="304" border="0"></a><a href="http://www.collectspace.com/review/panerai_eva_wristwatch03-lg.jpg" target="AirLock"><img src="http://www.collectspace.com/review/panerai_eva_wristwatch03.jpg" width="400" height="304" border="0"></a><a href="http://www.collectspace.com/review/panerai_eva_wristwatch04-lg.jpg" target="AirLock"><img src="http://www.collectspace.com/review/panerai_eva_wristwatch04.jpg" width="400" height="305" border="0"></a></center>The citation of NASA here is either mistaken or being used generically, as the flight of the Panerai appears to have had nothing to do with the U.S. space agency.</TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#494949"><TD valign=top>Philip</TD><TD>Currently an eighth wristwatch make was spotted during the September 3 spacewalk, worn by the cosmonaut in the red-striped Orlan space suit, Oleg Novitsky.Probably a Russian make, we're working on the identification...</TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#333333"><TD valign=top>Mariner1824</TD><TD>Others more learned may correct me if I’m wrong; but I understood it is now generally accepted that Ed Mitchell wore his personal Rolex GMT Master on his lunar surface EVAs during Apollo 14, in preference to his issue Speedmaster.</TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#494949"><TD valign=top>Robert Pearlman</TD><TD>Mitchell wore his NASA-issued Omega Speedmaster on a Velcro strap on the outside of his spacesuit. He may have worn his Rolex under his spacesuit, but if so, he could neither see it nor use it during the moonwalks. (I say "may" with regards to the Rolex, as my understanding is that the supposition is based on images of Mitchell captured in the lunar module between moonwalks, rather than Mitchell himself saying he did so.)</TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#333333"><TD valign=top>Mariner1824</TD><TD>You are of course correct Robert - his Speedmaster was indeed strapped to the outside of his spacesuit throughout, while his two GMT Masters were worn on the wrists and therefore underneath his spacesuit (visible, as you say, in various photos during pre-launch suit-up and in the LEM during the mission). Circumstantial evidence then rather than conclusive proof.I had it in mind that he had subsequently stated somewhere that he did wear at least one of them on the surface (but presumably along with the Speedmaster); however unless someone else confirms the source material then it is perhaps just folklore.At any rate, thanks for your clarification and memory bank (more accurate than mine, I’m sure.)</TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#494949"><TD valign=top>Philip</TD><TD>So far 8 wristwatch makes have been directly exposed to outer space: <OL TYPE=1><LI>1965, June 03 Omega Speedmaster 105.003-63 (Gemini IV - Ed White) <LI>1966, Sept 13 Glycine Airman automatic (Gemini XI - Charles Conrad) <LI>1971, Aug 02 Bulova 88510 chronograph (Apollo 15 - David Scott) <LI>1994, Sept 09 Fortis Official Cosmonauts (Mir-16 - Yuri Malenchenko) <LI>2008, Sept 27 Fiyta chronograph (Shenzhou 7 - Zhai Zhigang) <LI>2008, Dec 23 Seiko Spacewalk Springdrive (ISS Exp 18 – Yuri Lonchakov) <LI>2021, Sept 3 Black chronograph (ISS-65 - Oleg Novitsky) <LI>2022, Jan 19 Panerai Radiomir or Vostok (ISS Exp 66 – Anton Shkaplerov)</OL></TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#333333"><TD valign=top>Philip</TD><TD>Article with a link to a database on wristwatches used during spaceflight missions <A HREF="https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/think-you-can-name-every-single-watch-thats-ever-gone-to-space" TARGET=_blank>on HODINKEE</A>. <BLOCKQUOTE>On January 19th, 2022 at 6AM, Cosmonaut Anton Shkaplerov performed an Extra Vehicular Activity (EVA) from the International Space Station.
