After the patent had been granted and Chopard's team had completed all testing, they submitted the new and improved Speedmaster to NASA for review.NASA said "no thanks, we're good." Basically, NASA was content with using the replica IWC 20003538-03 watch existing Speedmaster Professional as is, and the AlaskaOriginal Alaska Project Patent Filings Project was officially called off.It was not until just this past year that people even really spoke of the Alaska Project again, when Omega released their tribute pieces which all the blogs picked up.But, what happened to the original Prototype Alaska Project Speedmasters from the early 1970s?
In addition, the M23 has a polished case replica IWC Spitfire Automatic Chronograph watch between the lugs while the M8 is unpolished between the lugs.If you are looking for a rugged, nice-looking automatic watch for under a grand, you should definitely check out LÜM-TEC'sM Tungsten series.For more information and to order,click here.

Well, here's one of theming to us from Antiquorum's most recent auction, this is an original Alaska Project Speedmaster with the red outer-casing.The pre-sale estimate for this original prototype was 40,000CHF-60,000CHF, but ended up replica IWC 5022-13 watch selling for a bargain price of 33,000CHF, or roughly $27,000.This probably one of the coolest Speedmasters ever made, and we would like to congratulate whoever picked up this amazing piece of Omega (and NASA) history just this past week in Geneva.
