Both comical and beautiful. Love the "what could You do in 14 seconds" part and the white dial.

There is a story behind that question:

Finally, the first 14 seconds on the dial are highlighted and flanked by text that reads "What could you do in 14 seconds?" This is a reference to a 14-second course correction that the Apollo 13 crew successfully timed and completed to correct their return trajectory after one of the two oxygen tanks on the service module exploded while the crew was headed to the moon, some 200,000 miles from earth. They actually timed this incredibly dire maneuver using Jack Swigert's Omega Speedmaster, an actuality that is both exceedingly cool and also pure marketing gold.

Thanks.. I'm guessing it's about supply and demand... A lot of people prefer to buy the PO types...
