Omega Built a Legend Around This... Seiko Barely Talks About It

Omega has built a legend around the Speedmaster's history in space, but Seiko has a fascinating spaceflight story of its own that rarely gets the same attention. In 1973, astronaut William Pogue took his personal Seiko chronograph aboard Skylab, creating an unexpected piece of watchmaking history. Today, we discuss the fascinating history of the first automatic chronograph to be used 84 days continuously in space. While also taking a closer look at two modern Speedtimers inspired by the iconic original: the SSC947 and the newly released HBJ004. We'll compare their designs, and see whether Seiko's newest interpretation is actually an improvement.
