That was a good video!
Pretty torn between a Seiko Pogue and a SpeedMaster Professional. This is one watch I wish they would reproduce! Seiko Chronograph Historical Collection Although finding a lightly used one on ebay is always an option...
This is pretty cool, and one of the things that endears me to the Seiko Pogue:
https://blog.watchdoctor.biz/2016/05/15/colonel-pogue-seiko-6139-chronograph/
The actual first automatic chronograph worn in outer space was the Seiko 6139. The watch was worn by Lt. Colonel William Pogue during the 1973-1974 Skylab 4 mission, for which he was the mission pilot. This was confirmed by Pogue himself after a man named David Brunoa selfdescribed “avid watch collector” began a letter correspondence with the former astronaut around 2007. (The letters can be viewed here: http://tinyurl.com/hfhen85 .The mission itself lasted 84 days and brought the third and final crew to the first American space station, where they worked for almost three months on a number of different projects. One reason why the watch’s journey to outer space was never recorded, was probably due to Pogue’s sneaking it on board the mission spacecraft in the first place.
If someone else mentioned this my apologies.

Wearing the Hamilton Pilot Pioneer chronograph today on a Haveston M-1918 canvas single pass strap.
Paired the pilot chrono with a flight jacket as usual. This time it's my Dubow Mfg 23379 contract (late 1941) A2 jacket (modern reproduction made by Norshor Leather).

For those interested in the Aragon Titanium GMT the order banks are coming to a close on that very shortly.

Ok, still lamenting the Pelagos. Consider these options. Tudor Black Bay 58 full kit, two owner. 2020 card, still under warranty. $2500 range.
Option 2 is a Seamaster Planet Ocean 2201.50 first generation fresh from factory rehab ($700). This one's $3k.
