A new player is entering the space watch market, challenging Omega's long-standing dominance with a timepiece designed specifically for space exploration. This watch, created by a smaller company, features a 3D-printed lightweight construction and is engineered for Extravehicular Activities (EVAs). It's designed to be repairable on the International Space Station (ISS) and capable of withstanding the extreme conditions of space. The watch aims to provide reliable timekeeping in the harshest environments known, positioning itself as a viable alternative to the traditional Moonwatch.
