Inside the watch is the Calibre 1887 movement that the newer Carrera watches contain. That gives it a nice tool/formal watch mix of aesthetic values. It looks good being polished and mixed with the more traditional looking dial. The watch itself is 43mm wide and in steel. The SpaceX logo and rocket image on the rear of the watch is placed on the sapphire exhibition caseback window which is tinted. The Carrera SpaceX watch offers a clean, legible look that I think many watch lovers will appreciate. The white dial with blued steel hands is very reminiscent of stopwatch-style dials, while also being quite instrumental in design. I am not totally sure how SpaceX fits into that, but the little picture of a rocket on the front and rear of the watch is of a SpaceX rocket and capsule. This of course predated the Apollo XI mission to the moon later that decade. It was supposed to be a back-up clock or timer. In 1962, John Glenn wore a Tag Heuer stopwatch on his wrist over his flight suit when being launched into orbit around the earth. While it is branded SpaceX, the watch also celebrates the 50th anniversary of Tag Heuer’s status as “The First Swiss Watch In Space.” That same phrase is printed on the dial and caseback of the watch. This limited edition watch is called the Tag Heuer Carrera Calibre 1887 SpaceX Chronograph, and will be part of a limited edition of 2,012 pieces. With SpaceX there is, and Tag’s relationship with Musk’s ventures continues. I actually don’t know if there was ever a Tag Heuer Tesla watch – I don’t think there was. I don’t know if you recall, but Tag Heuer had a neat branded electric Tesla Roadster S car that they took around the world on a large tour. Tag Heuer and SpaceX’s relationship likely started with Elon Musk – whom the brand worked with on his other company Tesla. Tag Heuer has released what is probably the first watch in celebration of SpaceX’s achievements. SpaceX is among a select group of global companies that will continue our mission to space. While sending people to space started as a government-supported goal, it is now up to private companies to further our galactic presence. They also recently announced a new deal with the US military to transport payloads into space – which was only possible after they flew three successful missions in a row. Elon Musk’s SpaceX made big headlines recently as their Dragon capsule docked with the International Space Station (ISS).
