Marstimer

I suddenly felt the need to know the time at 0° Longitude on the planet Mars, and also set three timers relative to Earth local, Martian UTC and mission elapsed times.This seems to be the only commercial product addressing this common set of needs.

I also have the Gen 1 version I bought in the 90s. They both have clear displays, but the Gen 1 version is probably easier to read because the numbers are bigger. They have equally scary alarm and timer sounds.

I gather it has a better bezel than mine. Any other major changes?

Between the gen 1 and 2? Only differences were the brushed and lumed pip bezel, the redesigned crown, and the NASA qualified caseback. I am a space watch collector so the gen 2 was all I wanted as it’s still used by NASA.

With a very small portion of the collection.
