Malaysia Astronaut Wearing What Watches During 2007 Expedition at International Space Station (ISS)?
Some said they are 2 Fortis and 1 Rolex.
I tried identify them in this YouTube but fails.

Anyone knows the answer, please share. Thanks.

This is one of the Fortis being worn by him at ISS.

My cousin is married to him. Can ask her. Although, I doubt it'll be as good as Speedy Tuesday! ;D

That's great! Hope that my question about what watches he was wearing is not too naive? :thumbsup:
Thanks.

Actually, the training undergone by Astronaut is very tough and intense.

I wouldn't say he's a full fledged astronaut to the likes of Buzz Aldrin and all the other living legends. But he's ok la. Everytime I meet him he's quite pleasant. Takes care of my cousin well. Respects my aunty and uncle. Nothing much to complain.

Excuse my ignorance, but what watch is speedy Tuesday?

The Omega Speedmaster. People tend to wear it on Tuesdays. If you go to instagram, you can do a search on #speedytuesday and a lot of people wear it on that day.
As for if there is historical significance to it... not sure. Cause the Moon Landing was on Sunday, 20 July 1969. ;D

Ah, the moon watch. First time I hear it being referenced as speedy Tuesday. Always thought speedy Tuesday being articles on speedmaster posted on Tuesday.
Many thanks.

Ummm, was it not because Fratellowatches' first article on Speedy was on a Tuesday and they have somehow kept it going with Speedy articles on Tuesdays? So Speedy Tuesday was more of a Fratellowatches' tradition with no real space historical importance. That, or I have been wearing my Speedy on the wrong days, many days :angel:
