After years of research and observation, the authors present a complete panorama of the Moonwatch in a systematic work that is both technical and attractive, making it the inescapable reference book for this legendary watch. This third edition has been enriched with 17 new models, revised information and a new chapter featuring pictures of astronauts and their Speedmasters."--Back cover.
