What is Dr. Buzz Aldrin wearing

Post by Split-Time »

Can anyone tell what watches Buzz Aldrin has been wearing together?

I was scrolling through his twitter and found that he replied “This is why I always wear at least two watches” to a Goddard Space Flight Center tweet that said, “To go the distance, NASA keeps good track of time. If we know the time, we know the distance. Our timekeeping tech will help us navigate and explore the Moon.”
In that tweet he was wearing these:

Yeah, he's one of us :lol: . I hope my wife doesn't ask what I did at work today. Scrolling though his twitter feed you can see that he went diving not too long ago and wore at least one of the watches.

Here's a better look at one of the two that seem to be connected on the bracelet.

"on his left, an unusual contraption that combines an 18k yellow gold De Ville Chronoscope with an X-33 and its titanium bracelet, modified to connect both watch heads. "

Good work!! While that is a wild look, I can't say that I didn't think about rigging up a similar setup for myself last night. If I had about 2 more drinks in me, I would be showing off some sort of two watch one band cobbled together monstrosity today lol.

A monstrosity, indeed. But, let those among us who have been to the moon cast the first stone.

So I'm not sure whether this means I can wear two watches because Buzz made it OK or whether you have to have walked on the f'ing mood to pull it off. :roll:
I wish that watch were 38mm?

I'm not sure that he's really making it OK :lol: . I saw him at an event last week. Didn't get a good look at his wrists but I can't say that I was trying. However, I also didn't realize that he had two Omega cobbled together. He marches to his own beat...that's for sure. Look up his girlfriend if you have a couple of minutes.

Omega might make an LE based on that...the first dual watch worn on the moon?
