Talking about Speedmasters. I absolutely love mine, it gets better the longer I own it (in my eyes) but, the practicalities .... if it was so good as a space watch how the hell did they wind it daily with space gloves.... but seriously, the lume is not that great. Wouldn't that have been a consideration at the time? thin hands, tiny markers etc. What if you're trying to time something whilst tumbling around in zero G or being shaken on re-entry?
