60 years ago... USAF B-58 New York to Paris record flight ! The USAF aircrew of the Mach 2 strategic bomber Convair B-58 Hustler, nicknamed “The Firefly”, pose at the Paris Airport apron near the plaque that commemorates the landing spot of Charles Lindbergh’s first solo trans-Atlantic flight in May 1927. Left-to-right: Major William R. Payne, Aircraft Commander, Captain William L. Polhemus, Navigator, and Captain Raymond R. Wagener, Defensive Systems Officer, won the Harmon and Mackay Aviation Trophies for this flight. While Lindbergh’s flight took 33 hours 33 minutes, the B-58 Hustler only needed 3 hours 19 minutes... an average of 1755 Km/Hour for the very first supersonic transatlantic crossing ! Note the Rolex GMT-master Pepsi pilot watch at Captain Polhemus’ wrist, a favorite wristwatch among many pilots, civil and military alike! (Photo: USAF) (Scan: MoonwatchUniverse collection)

Since the Rolex GMT Master was designed for the airplane industry, it ought not to be surprising that the development of this fine watch included Pan Am. We can take a lesson from that piece of history. We should always be aware of the people who will benefit from our actions and understand them a little bit better. Otherwise, our efforts might all be for naught. Have a wonderful day. ::::::::: ROLEX GMT MASTER PEPSI - Old stock, no longer available for sale #rolex #rolexgmt #gmtmasterpepsi #rolexgmtmaster #rolexwatches #rolexvintage (at Bert Levi Family Jewelers and Jewelry Buyers) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLbCu8UF_nK/?igshid=7nuuhqmfoyjn

50 years ago, Apollo 14 personal Rolex watches flown to the Moon! January 31, 1971 Apollo 14 launch day suitup shows Edgar Mitchell putting on two extra personal Rolex watches underneath the fireproof underwear of his A7LB space suit... one on each wrist, besides the NASA-issued Omega Speedmaster  chronograph already strapped over his left forearm. Photos showing Mitchell taking a break before putting on the Apollo fishbowl helmet of the A7LB spacesuit, show he tugged each personal wristwatch nicely underneath the fireproof underwear. In July 1966, during Gemini X, astronaut Michael Collins was the first astronaut to wear a wristwatch underneath the spacesuit and we know Moonwalker Eugene Cernan wore his NASA-issued Speedmaster 105.003 underneath the A7LB spacesuit during almost 8 hours Apollo 17 lunar spacewalks in December 1972!
