Glenn was equipped with a Heuer 2915A Stopwatch that was strapped to his arm with a makeshift band to protect it from the obvious stresses of space exploration. Inspiration for the Space X is drawn directly from the Heuer 2915 A and can be seen in the design of the dial.

About the Tag Heuer Carrera Calibre 1887 SpaceX Limited Edition
This limited edition watch is called the Tag Heuer Carrera Calibre 1887 SpaceX Chronograph, and will be part of a limited edition of 2,012 pieces. While it is branded SpaceX, the watch also celebrates the 50th anniversary of Tag Heuer's status as "The First Swiss Watch In Space." That same phrase is printed on the dial and caseback of the watch. In 1962, John Glenn wore a Tag Heuer stopwatch on his wrist over his flight suit when being launched into orbit around the earth. It was supposed to be a back-up clock or timer. This of course predated the Apollo XI mission to the moon later that decade.
The TAG Heuer Carrera SpaceX is based on the large 43mm Carrera 1887, but with bespoke hands, dial and vintage-look leather strap.
The design of the dial is faithful to that of the Heuer 2915A- large arabic numerals marking out 5-minute increments, and with a triangle marker at both the 12 o’clock and 6 o’clock points. It’s an attractive design that gives the watch a unique look in the Carrera 1887 family.
The Anthracite hands match the colour of the minute markers, with the chronograph second hand shaped to reflect the original Heuer watch.
The watch is complemented by a great looking “vintage” brown leather strap, and is also available with the standard Carrera bracelet.The link with Space travel is marked at two places on the dial. At 9 o’clock is the text “1962-2012” and below that an image of the SpaceX Falcon 9 and Dragon spacecraft more on SpaceX shortly.
At the 3 o’clock position is the text “First Swiss Watch in Space”.
Powering the new watch is TAG Heuer’s Calibre 1887 movement, which sits behind a smoked sapphire crystal caseback which also has the Falcon 9 and Dragon spacecraft and the SpaceX logo.
Attached to the case is a brown suede-style leather strap with racing style perforations. The rugged looking strap helps give the instrument-style dial a bit more personality. The watch is also available on a metal Carrera bracelet - which will turn it into a watch that fits very well at SpaceX headquarters (I can imagine). With a release of around November, 2012, the limited edition of the 2,012 piece Tag Heuer Carrera Calibre 1887 SpaceX Chronograph watch was retail for $5,800.
