Product Overview
Lunokhod 2 was the second and more advanced of two unmanned lunar rovers landed on the Moon by the Soviet Union as part of the Lunokhod program on January 15, 1973.
Lunokhod 2 operated for about 4 months, covered 37 km of terrain, including hilly upland areas and rilles (fissures), and sent back 86 panoramic images and over 80,000 standard pictures. The 37 km journey remains the longest any robotic rover has ever been driven on another celestial body. Many mechanical tests of the surface, laser ranging measurements, and other experiments were completed during this time.
These watches were designed for using in different extreme activities – from deep diving to space explorations and have several mission-driven features:
-A 49 mm stainless steel case, water resistant up to 300 meters.
-An automatic helium release valve. This spring-loaded one-way valve activates when the difference between the inner and the outside pressure reaches a critical level. This function is useful for commercial divers operating at great depths using diving bells with breathing gas mix inside.
-An enhanced hardened 3.5 mm thick K1 mineral crystal
-Swiss-made tritium tubes mounted vertically on the dial.
-Screw mounted strap bars provide more secure connections than traditional spring bars.
-The whole watch set packed into an original VE waterproof and shock-resistant plastic box, which can be used during extreme activities to keep valuables safe.
