Jonny Kim — watch collection

About Jonny Kim’s watch collection

Jonny Kim is a NASA astronaut, physician, and Navy SEAL officer who completed an eight-month mission aboard the International Space Station. Kim launched to the ISS as flight engineer for Expedition 70/71 and returned to Earth in September 2024 aboard a Soyuz MS-27 capsule. His background spans military service, medicine, and space exploration, making him one of the few individuals to operate at the highest levels of multiple demanding fields.

The Jonny Kim watch collection centres on Omega's Seamaster Diver 300M Co-Axial Master Chronometer line. During his Soyuz descent and landing in Kazakhstan on 12 September 2024, Kim wore an Omega Seamaster Diver 300M (Ref. 210.30.42.20.01.001) with a black dial and stainless steel bracelet. The watch was visible in post-landing imagery and represents operational hardware used during one of the most critical phases of spaceflight. Kim has also been spotted wearing the Seamaster Diver 300M (Ref. 210.32.42.20.01.001), another variant in the same line with a steel bracelet.

Omega's selection as the official timepiece for space missions reflects the brand's long-standing partnership with NASA and international space agencies. The Seamaster Diver 300M meets rigorous standards for accuracy, reliability, and durability in extreme environments. For Kim, whose professional life involves both terrestrial and orbital operations, the Seamaster line offers the precision and robustness demanded by his work. The watches in his collection represent practical instruments rather than luxury acquisitions, consistent with his background in technical fields.
