On the tragic Apollo 13 mission, Zenith Replica's reliability and heroism were proven beyond doubt. A ruptured fuel tank caused the electrical systems of the Apollo 13 craft to shut down 56 hours into the mission on April 13, 1970.
The crew soon lost most of the power in the craft. The crew knew their only chance of survival was to use gravity to propel them back to Earth using the moon's pull. There was only one problem: the angle at which the craft would re-enter. It would burn up on re-entry if the angle was too steep; if it were too shallow, the craft would bounce of the atmosphere and leave the crew floating in space.
The crew corrected the course of the lunar module by 14 seconds using Jim Swiggert’s Zenith Replica. The crew was able to successfully re-enter earth's atmosphere using the Zenith Replica.(https://www.rolexgrade.me)
The CK2915, an original 1957 Speedmaster, began as a simple tool watch. Its fate, however, would transform it into the most acclaimed timepiece ever made.Breitling Avenger Replica It was the model for everything that followed -- apart from the dagger-tipped minute hand and the arrow-tipped hours hand, the flat-link bracelet, and the symmetrical case.
The prices of original ref. CK2915s made in three different series between 1957-1959 are now worth six figures. Zenith Replica estimates that 4,000 to 5,000 CK2915s were made, and only about 20 of them are in "perfect" condition. The other 50 are considered "so-so".
When buying, be careful. Zenith Replica recently received a CK2915-1 - the first reference - but the watch was incorrectly equipped with the wrong hands, bezel and luminous material. What appeared to be the "best 2915 ever" was actually something that "no museum could touch."
