NASA Astronaut Jeffrey Hoffman Space Worn Mission Watch -- Fully Functional Watch Was Flown on STS-46 Atlantis and Shown in NASA Photos S46-13-015 & 016

NASA astronaut Jeffrey Hoffman space worn STS-46 mission watch, featuring the names of all seven astronauts on the face. An astrophysicist, Hoffman is one of the few astronauts to fly on five space shuttles and is the first Jewish astronaut to fly for NASA, the first being a Soviet cosmonaut. With black patent textured leather band, showing some wear from use, overall very good. Watch is functional, with the shuttle on the edge of the face cleverly acting as a second hand. With an LOA from Jeffrey Hoffman.
