Parece que la NASA tiene otro relojillo para el espacio ...
The old standby watch is the Omega® Speed Master watch," says Walker. Omega was made famous by Apollo astronauts as they conducted space walks, but was first used in space by Walter Schirra when he orbited the Earth six times in the Sigma 7 spacecraft in 1962. "It's a constant favorite even though it has a standard face with hands instead of a digital readout. It's basic and simple, and many pilots and commanders prefer it because they can time their maneuvers accurately with it."
The Omega® X33 Chronograph is a more sophisticated watch, with analog and digital displays, and several timers that can be helpful during the course of experiments or other closely monitored activities.
The Casio® G-Shock® is another basic watch, Walker says, but it features a digital face and several timers—helpful when working on precise projects.
The new watch for astronauts is the Timex® Ironman®. This cutting-edge timepiece, which sells for less than $100, boasts a light-emitting diode (LED) port to synchronize up to 10 alarms to the calendar of a personal computer, stores 38 telephone numbers, identifies messages, displays the time in two different time zones, and comes close to serving as a wrist computer, Walker says.
An astronaut can even request to wear a personal watch from home. It will be logged in as crew member personal property, but can't be worn under extreme conditions like space walks or launches. "Personal watches can't be worn in the launch suit," Walker says, "because the suit is designed to automatically pressurize in the event of an emergency. That pressurization may cause the watch to rupture, and in an emergency, nobody would have time to take the watch off."
