Mars 500 is an ambitious experiment that was launched in order to test the possibility of sending a crew of cosmonauts to Mars by 2030.

A uni-directional, rotating bezel is available to measure elapsed time. Hands, indices and bezel elements are covered with luminous paint that enhances readability in the dark. Additional useful features include screw-down titanium case back, individual numbering and scratch-resistant sapphire crystal glass with anti-reflective coating.
