KIZZI velcro Hook and Loop THE MOST AUTHENTIC NASA WATCH STRAP using original matériel

 

THE MOST AUTHENTIC NASA WATCH STRAP using original matériel made by a TRUE enthusiast ...​ 


Kizzi Precision Flightgear -



Originally for the Mercury program no single watch was identified as the approved time-piece and for whatever watch was worn a simple adjustable metal bracelet made by JB Champion USA Expandable Stainless Steel Mesh Bracelet ... (not frostner komfit) ... worn over the pressure suit sleeve was sufficient. 

In 1964  NASA's Flight Crew Integration Division (FCID) workshops made the chronograph watchbands "in house". 

1986 NASA's non-core support activities were outsourced to Boeing Aerospace Operations (BAO) , who took over manufacture and supply of the watchbands as part of a Flight Equipment Processing Contract (FEPC). 

The Hook and Loop straps came in BOTH long (over spacesuit) and short lengths (inside cabin).
