With regards to space walks and the 45-minute chronograph, is this watch designed to be worn on the outside of your space suit? Or is this meant for timing other people's space walks while you're safely inside the space craft?

mrvcoHi this watch is not designed to be worn on the outside of the space suit. But this watch adopted the same movement of FIYTA extravehicular space watch which was worn on the outside of the space suit. In the space, the aircrafts fly around the earth in every 90 minutes and the daytime is 45 minutes rather than 12 hours on the earth. During this 45 minutes, the astronauts have specific tasks to fulfill, so the 45-minute chronograph dial is designed for this. The blue and green areas on the minute chronograph dial are designed to alert the timing of task processes. This is also the first movement in the world that has a 45-minute chronograph counter.

SaltedfishYes, it is. Other chronograph watches normally have 60-minute chronograph counter but this one is 45-minute. So the chronograph minute hand moves faster than the big minute hand. One circle 45 minutes VS one circle 60 minutes.

Answer0404Not the first one. A recent one for sure, but I used to own an old mechanical Swiss made watch with soccer chrono, using 45 minutes counter.
