collectSPACE Auction offers cosmonaut's Omega watch worn on two space stationsA watch that was used to keep time for 120,516 minutes on board two space stations is now up for auction. Christie's Digital Sales division is offering the rare Omega Speedmaster Professional X-33 chronograph that Russian cosmonaut Sergei Zalyotin wore aboard both the Russian space station Mir and the International Space Station. The analog watch with its unique digital face display opened for online bidding on Thursday (Jan. 28) at $10,000. The sale closes on Feb. 9. "To the best of our knowledge, this [watch] may be the only Speedmaster that traveled to both of these space stations, making it a remarkable piece of horological [study of time] and space history," Christie's watch experts wrote.  |
