Flown SpaceX Inspirati④n Watch from Mission Commander Jared Isaacman

Woot – I just won the bespoke Inspirati④n Commander’s watch in a charity auction for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Jared Isaacman wore it in space on the three-day mission, the first flight of an all-civilian crew, as covered in the Netflix documentary Countdown.

I like the design, with the Inspirati④n logo in color on front, and etched on the back. White ceramic and titanium, custom to the mission. From IWC: “The Pilot’s Watch Chronograph Edition “Inspiration4” features a case made of stunning white ceramic. The unique color results from a complex manufacturing process in which zirconium oxide is mixed with other metallic oxides in a precisely defined ratio. With a Vickers rating second only to that of diamond, engineering ceramic ranks among the hardest substances on the planet. The dark blue lacquered dial has been pad printed with countless stars and captures the depth and darkness of space. It also features the Inspiration4 logo. Inside beats the IWC-manufactured 69380 caliber chronograph movement. On the titanium case back, there is an engraving of the crew member name and mission value represented: JARED “ROOK” ISAACMAN – LEADERSHIP. The chronograph is fitted with an eye-catching white rubber strap with a leather inlay. The Pilot’s Watch Chronograph Edition “Inspiration4” is delivered in a bespoke box signed by all four Inspiration4 crew”
