During Budarin’s stay on Mir, he performed three spacewalks; during those spacewalks, he wore the Omega Speedmaster that’s coming up for sale. Unfortunately, he did not keep the velcro strap that traditionally wraps around the sleeve of the spacesuit. Between the three spacewalks he performed, he logged over 14 hours of time in the vacuum of space. While he was inside Mir, he wore it on a leather strap, which is still on the watch.
