Alan Shepard -- Yes, He Seems to Be Wearing the Le Coultre
Mar 14, 2018,02:22 AM
Well Spotted!!
At first glance, I thought perhaps an Accutron Astronaut, but two observations -- (a) Shepard's watch has a crown, which would be absent on the Accutron, and (b) May 1961 would probably pre-date the Accutron . . . right?
Also, on the Accutron Astronaut, the GMT bezel would be more prominent and the numerals less prominent . . . in fact, there would be no numerals on the dial.
So, yes, this looks like the Le Coultre to me.
I have some additional screen-grabs of the Mercury astronauts wearing watches . . . will collect more, then post them all.
