Essay

This 'Limited Edition' Apollo Soyuz debuted in 2010 in celebration of the 35th anniversary of Tom Stafford's space mission in July 1975. With the initial Apollo Soyuz release, of which only 500 pieces were produced, this edition remains highly sought after. 

Aside from the classic 42mm stainless steel case and sapphire glass, the caseback of the watch features a specially engraved depiction of the Apollo and Soyuz spacecraft. Most importantly the dial is made from meteorite, each with a unique pattern, and each being enitrely unique from one another.
