W/NW Let's see some wristwatches! (II)

[Out to Lunch]

Some twenty years after I bought this watch, the hour hand got stuck. The Omega dealer in Ho Chi Minh City
charged me a few hundred dollars + a three month turnaround time. So I went to the local watch repairman
who fixed the problem in one day and charged me 10 dollars, instead.

My old Oris (c.2004).
I had been a Seiko diver owner, but had problems with the last one and opted to go swiss on the Oris here about 10 years ago.

Always cool to see a beat-up toolwatch. My personal problem with Oris (or any brand for that matter) are proprietary lugs.

Keypad used to land Apollo on the moon shrunk down to work as wristwatch

NASA's Apollo spacecraft had aboard two briefcase-size computers that for their day would normally have required enough floor space to fill a couple of rooms. Apollo Instruments has been able to shrink the Apollo Guidance Computer even further.
