You're about to take your first step on mars, what watch do you wear knowing you may well set off a chain of never ending special editions. Do you wear another omega speedmaster and hope their marking dept simply implodes due to the concentration redundancy?

>The Konstantin Chaykin Mars Conqueror Mk3 Fighter Project offers three indications: the main hands for local time, the UTC sub-dial at 12 o’clock for a second time zone, and the MCT, i.e., Mars time, as displayed on the 6 o’clock sub-dial.
>Responsible for all these is a combination of a 125-part module designed, manufactured, finished, and assembled entirely by the Konstantin Chaykin manufacture. Driving this module is a trusty ETA 2893-2, a slim yet powerful base caliber. The entire K.15-0 movement measures just 6.6mm-thick, with the module included, and offers 42 hours of power reserve, replenished through either the crown or the self-winding system. Speaking of crowns, as part of an invention of Konstantin Chaykin (just one of the 78 patented inventions of his career, patent number RU2518300), the Mars Conqueror watch uses two crowns: one for winding and adjusting the K.15-0 movement and the other to select between the functions of the former.

>The average duration of the Martian solar day (called “sol”) is approximately 24 hours, 39 minutes and 35.244 seconds, or 88775.244 seconds. The mean of Earth’s solar day is 24 hours or 86400.002 seconds. Based on calculations performed by Chaykin, it is possible to make the transition from the gear system of terrestrial time to the gear system of Mars time with the use of two wheels with 109 and 112 teeth. The 112/109 gear for Martian time indication is patented by Konstantin Chaykin. Thus, the duration of the Martian day with the use of this gear is 86400×112/109 = 88777.98 seconds, which is longer than the mean Martian solar day by just 2.7 seconds. That 2.7-second deviation should be considered precise, as it is less than the daily variation of a mechanical COSC chronometer, which is between -4 to +6 seconds a day. The 112/109 gear allows for the production of a technically correct synchronization of Mars and Earth time indications.
