Spacelab Weltraumchronograph
Sold
Spacemission for your wrist!
The Ref.140/42 ST is probably the most historic chronograph from the specialist watch manufacturer Sinn from Frankfurt am Main.
During the first German space mission in 1985, astronaut and physicist Reinhard Furrer wore the Sinn chronograph on his wrist, thus making German watch history. This reference proved that an automatic watch can also work in space. As a reminder of this, our offered Spacelab also features a special engraving with the space shuttle as well as the inscription "First German Spacelab Mission - 1st Automatic Chronograph in Space Sinn Model 140/42". Unofficially, the Seiko 6139 was the first automatic watch in space.
Inside ticks the legendary Lemania Caliber 5100 with day and date display as well as the famous and practical central minute counter to read the minutes of the stop times faster and better with a hand from the center of the dial.
The watch is in very good condition with only one minor scratch on the upper right lug. Otherwise, the watch as well as the dial and hand are in very good condition.
The watch also received a complete manufacturer service in August 2022. The receipts as well as the service folder are available.
The watch has been fully inspected by us and comes with a 1-year warranty.
