One mission arc per episode, no filler. Each conversation pairs with a section of the Journal or the Flight Archive, so you can read the full story behind anything that catches your ear.
One story, every app
The same episodes, wherever you prefer to press play. And when the missions fly for real — dockings, boardings, spacewalks — Mission Watch Live carries NASA’s official broadcast.
Speedy Tuesday

The story arc
Seven-minute conversations on the Speedmaster’s flight history — the Journal, told aloud.

The Watch That Went First
Before NASA qualified anything, Wally Schirra wore his own CK 2998 aboard Sigma 7. How the Speedmaster got to space on a pilot’s wrist.

Lot 53: The $3.4 Million Frankenwatch
The most expensive Omega ever sold at auction — bought by Omega for its own museum, then denounced as a Frankenstein. Six and a half minutes on the record, the unravelling, and what archive papers can never prove.

Market Insights — September 19, 2026
The week in vintage Speedmasters: a second consecutive quiet week — zero verifiable realized sales across all nine references, September 13–19 — plus what the asking side tells collectors.
Market Insights — October 3, 2026
A genuinely quiet week: zero verifiable realized sales across all nine vintage references, September 27–October 3 — dealer asking prices held firm everywhere. Rich walks through five near-miss prices that failed the substantiation test, plus the asking landscape from the Ed White through the No NASA 145.022-71.
Market Insights — October 10, 2026
Two verified auction sales, both near $4,800 — a 1968 145.012-68SP at Watch Collecting (HK) and a 1969 ‘Straight Writing’ 145.022-69 at Bruun Rasmussen’s Omega sale — while eBay, the forums, and the dealer archives yielded nothing verifiable, and the Analog:Shift Ultraman ‘sale’ fell through.
Market Insights — October 17, 2026
The calibre-861 value end did all the verified trading again — two Catawiki timed sales: a 1971 145.022-71 at €4,300 on October 11 (41 bids, below its €6,500–€7,200 estimate) and a no-reserve 145.022-68 at €3,100 on October 13 — while the calibre-321 references recorded no verifiable realized sales.
Market Insights — October 24, 2026
Zero verifiable realized sales across all nine references, October 18–24 — Antiquorum’s New York return was an independents-led sale with no verifiable vintage Speedmaster lot, the timed platforms printed nothing in-window, and the week’s one claimed eBay print failed verification on re-check and was withdrawn. A Bulang Ed White left the board at a €19,000 ask — a removal, not a result.
