The Space Race between the United States and the Soviet Union may have ended in the 1970s, but today a new Space Race is brewing.
This new race isn’t between hostile nations. Hell, it doesn’t even involve astronauts. Instead, a handful of billionaire-funded aerospace technology companies are seemingly in a race to see who can send civilians on the most insane outer space journey.
Blasting into the lead is Elon Musk‘s SpaceX with its upcoming Polaris Dawn mission, which will take four civilians — led by mission organizer and Shift4 Payments CEO Jared Isaacman — further into space than any human since NASA’s Apollo program.
The Polaris Dawn Mission
Over five days onboard the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft, the amateur astronauts of Polaris Dawn will travel into the dangerous Van Allen radiation belt to test its effects on their health, take part in the first-ever commercial spacewalk, and attempt to reach the highest Earth orbit of any human ever.
The mission seems incredibly risky, to say the least, and Isaacman and company — retired Air Force pilot Scott Poteet and SpaceX engineers Sarah Gillis and Anna Menon — are going to need to rely on their equipment in order to survive. Part of said equipment will be an outer space chronograph replica watches for sale created just for the mission, and no, it’s not an Omega Speedmaster.
IWC Will Accompany Polaris Dawn’s Amateur Astronauts
For the Polaris Dawn mission, IWC Schaffhausen has crafted four special chronographs for the intrepid travelers to wear in outer space. The UK AAA fake watches are modified versions of IWC’s Pilot’s Watch Chronograph “Lake Tahoe” and feature the same 44.5mm white ceramic case and titanium caseback.
The best 2024 copy watches also appear to be powered by the same movement as the standard Pilot’s Chronograph, the in-house IWC Cal. 69380. It’s an automatic chronograph with a day-date complication and a 46-hour power reserve.
The dial of the new luxury replica watches is entirely different, however, as IWC has replaced the matte-black dial of the standard “Lake Tahoe” with a blue lacquered dial decorated all over with stars and adorned with the Polaris Dawn mission logo on the 6 o’clock chronograph register. Additionally, each watch’s caseback is engraved with the name of the crew member who will be wearing it.
Outside of the aesthetic makeover, IWC doesn’t seem to have made any changes to the Pilot’s Chronograph, but it likely didn’t need to. Like other top super clone watches from the brand’s Pilot’s line, the chronograph has a soft-iron inner case protecting the movement from magnetic fields, and the sapphire crystal is reinforced to prevent it from popping off in case there’s a drop in air pressure.
You Can Own a Piece of Outer Space History
The mission is just the start of the journey for these four Swiss IWC fake watches wholesale. After the crew of Polaris Dawn returns to Earth, the watches will be auctioned off by Christie’s in New York to raise funds for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
