Here's an excellent posting on Hodinkee about a photographer who went to the edge of space (in a U-2 spy plane), and wore a TAG Heuer Monaco for the flight --

Very cool! 😎
I just read the Hodinkee article too and was about to post, but Jeff beat me to it. 👍

This 21-minute video, which covers the back-story of the flight, is fantastic -- The World’s First U2 Photo Shoot at the EDGE OF SPACE!

You'll also see some good footage of the Monaco (and a Rolex that he wears, but only down on Earth).

Yeah! I can imagine Blair blowing people's minds when they ask him if he has done anything special lately. 😎

I'm now waiting for a Monaco "Edge of Space" Limited Edition to come out.

A carbon black case, blue, green and beige/brown colour scheme (earthy colours). Numbered 104 pieces in line with the number of U2 bombers made.

We actually had a U-2 pilot hang out on the Omega Forums for a while, I’ll see if I can find some of his shots

That's why the Monaco is the perfect match!
