A lot of people wear speedmasters because the Apollo astronauts wore them. This is mostly in jest, but if people really wanted to emulate those Apollo astronaut icons, they would choose the most practical options which would be quartz watches, not mechanical watches. They’d be brighter, have better battery, keep better time, more durable, etc
But in seriousness, I totally respect the history and craftsmanship of these watches, just not their practicality in modern day.
If running water existed in Medieval times, everyone would have used it… If cars existed in the 1800s, no one would have used horses… If gun powder had existed, no one would have used arrows… Thanks Sherlock!!!
