MM250 - SB2
A triple-calendar chronograph for collectors seeking maximum utility and elegance out of a mechanical tool watch. This second series of the Mission Moon continues to respect the design and structural principles of the iconic Mission M250, but boasts an even more impressive array of full-calendar complications with its restructured 7751. The handmade guilloche dial vests a moonphase window, date-calendar, hour/minute counters, and day/ month windows. This latest run of the Mission Moon is limited to 100 individually-numbered MM250-2 timepieces

______________________________________________________________________________
The Mission Moon was evolved from our original Mission M250 chronograph, an instrument made for NASA astronauts at the start of the new millenium. It was Towson Watch Company’s first commercial series. Prior to launching the first collection of 25 timepieces, several served as a faithful companion to astronauts aboard the Endeavor aircraft on a NASA STS-99 mission, which mapped the earth’s surface from the south of Greenland to the northern edge of the Antarctic in 2000. The latest adoptions to this limited Mission Moon Collection of 100 timepieces retain the elegant, confident, and explorative traits characteristic of our "Mission Collection" while bolstering the practicality for whom this timepiece was intended to be of service to, space travelers.
