“The hours, minutes, chronograph seconds hands and hour markers sport Super-LumiNova for a perfect glow in the dark. The caseback on each BIOCERAMIC MOONSWATCH is printed with the mission text and features intergated wording sure to inspire. “DREAM BIG – FLY HIGH – EXPLORE THE UNIVERSE – REACH FOR THE PLANETS.”
