There’s a ton of really good info out there about the test criteria and how the Speedy was used in space. I’ll post some links later but I’m out today

Cool, thanks, I'll Google around too. Tends to be lots of anecdotes but yeah, I am interested in the criteria they used.

I found this which is a good start, do anyone have other recommendations?

I like the Bulova Lunar which is a good alternative and had been in space.

That's a good read. The testing procedures seemed pretty tough... Funny because I bet the majority of Speedmasters get babied.
