Carrera Calibre 1887 SpaceX

Recommended Posts

Jase

Just in from Reg, this SpaceX edition.

It's another microstepper quartz.

 

First off....................WOW. This is nice. Love it.

Big, heavy and very well made.

Ok ok, this is not true to the gen at all in the looks department, because of the glaringly obvious wrong dial colour, the gen only having a white face (which Reg has too)

But I thought I'd see what this is like. It looks huge but in reality is no bigger than my day/date. Must be the small bezel and large dial that does it.

Another BIG mistake is the text on the dial and the case back.

50th anniversary of being the first watch in space is, 1962 - 2012.

Watch states 1962 - 2013. Maths mustn't have a strong point at school.

 

But who the hell cares?. You'd have to be up real close to see it on the dial and who sees the case back?

I'm a bracelet guy, only really do straps on Pams, so hence getting this one over Reg's versions with leather.

 

Watch cash drawer is now empty, but end of month I'll order the white dial version, cos why the hell not?

Really am liking this a lot. Incredible value for money from Reg at only £98 shipped.

 

Sorry for the lighting in the pics. Doh.

Looks great.

 

Does the seconds @ 6 work? Does that tick or microstep?

Yeah, seconds at six work. Unfortunately they tick. The microstepper is only the large chrono second hand.

Guessing it's the same movement as I have in my Link calibre 16.

Be interested to know who makes the movement, I'll whip the back off at the weekend.

Just out of curiosity, I had the back off this and the Link calibre 16 microstepper also from Reg.

No manufacturers name on the movement, just S11O, VJ76A Japan, no jewels.

Quick question - do you know the over-all size of the watch? (is the dial 43mm? or is it the case?)
