Made to withstand extreme conditions, the Voyager Automatic will be your constant companion as you explore your world. The caseback features an inlaid replica of “the Golden Record” cover which is found on the outside of the Voyager spacecraft, intended to communicate a story of our world to any intelligent life it could encounter in its journeyĪnd Xeric custom molded a new silicone strap which retains a shape reminiscent of ribbed astronaut gloves, and in an array of two-tone colors. The watch dial is protected by an ultra scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. A thick coating of Super-LumiNova is applied to the hands and dial, extending legibility in the dark. The dial features NASA’s iconic “worm” logo and a uniquely layered surface. The movement is housed in a robust stainless steel case complete with a tactile 120-click rotating bezel fit for divers. As you wear it, the rotor winds the mainspring, creating stored mechanical energy that powers the watch. The watch is powered by the self-winding Seiko NH38 automatic movement. With this 1,000 meter depth rating, Xeric also integrated a helium escape valve into the case, preventing a pressure differential that can occur during deep dives. ![]() So your ‘repair mechanism’ wasn't to take something apart, it was to replace these units.Whether it’s deep in the ocean or deep in space, the Xeric Voyager Automatic can withstand 100 times the pressure of Earth’s atmosphere. Up to that point, Shuttle could carry 20 tons of supplies, and you're flying four shuttles a year, and there was no problem getting spare parts. “At that point in time,” Pettit says, “the concept of doing repairs on orbit was to pull out a ‘box,’ put in a new box, and you don't take the box apart. As the chemical engineer and NASA’s oldest-serving astronaut (68) reveals to WIRED, it transformed the space agency’s supply protocol at an early stage in the ISS’s own life. However, 20 years ago, this repair job didn’t just fix Don’s Omega. “As you can hear in the watch-repair video, I make the comment: ‘The tool you use at the frontier to fix it is the tool you use to get the job done.’” I didn't have any instructions,” Pettit says. “I paid my way through college as a diesel mechanic for a logging outfit, so I feel comfortable with mechanical things and electric things, taking them apart and fixing them. Pettit’s delicate Omega repair aboard the ISS required holding minuscule watch parts down with duct tape.
