...hesalite was used per NASA requirements on the Moon Watch because it wouldn't break into tiny frags if broken as a saph would,especially during weightlessness,causing unforseen problems aboard the space craft! ...some purists may frown on the sapphire sandwich model but imho it made the Speedy Pro a watch a WIS could truly enjoy,the view the mechanical movement is a marvel...
... what chance do we have of ever setting foot on the moon?
