Dr. Jonny Kim
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION
BACK IN BLACK
On April 8, 2025, we shared the thrilling news that Dr. Jonny Kim, a true NASA trailblazer and NAVY SEAL, wore his iconic Rolex Daytona on his journey to and aboard the International Space Station. (The original story is included below for you to explore.)
Watches of Espionage recently spotted Jonny Kim sporting a sleek Submariner aboard the ISS, as seen on Jonny's Instagram. Watches of Espionage @WatchesOfEspionage has a really cool Instagram page. Jonny, if you’re browsing Jake’s Rolex World on one of those ISS laptops—and we hope you are—we salute your interstellar style! You embody the pinnacle of Rolex coolness!
I couldn’t resist crafting the meme below, which captures the cosmic vibe of this moment—and if it’s not reality, it absolutely should be! :-)

Dr. Jonny Kim

INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION
COSMIC CHRONOGRAPH
Nick Gould and I have been tracking Jonny Kim, as he made his way to the International Space Station, while rocking his Polar White stainless steel Rolex Daytona on his wrist, making him the third documented Astronaut to wear a Rolex Daytona in space.
Jonny Kim is pictured below wearing his Rolex Daytona pre-flight quarantine a few days ago before leaving for the International Space Station.

Captain Danny, also wrote a great article about Johnny Kim...In particular, he points out that Dr. Kim will be participating in a 240-day mission aboard the International Space Station, which will likely mark the longest duration a Rolex has ever been in outer space, so it's interesting to note he chose to wear his Rolex Daytona, over his GMT-Master.
In the video below you can see Jonny Kim rocking is stainless Daytona as he boarded the International Space Station a few hours ago...
Below is a video interview where Jonny Kim shares his absolutely fascinating life story with Jocko, which I highly recommend watching...
Below is a photo of NASA Astronaut Jonny Kim with his mother. Jonny said "My mother has always been a beacon of hope and strength in my life. Thank you for sacrificing your dreams to that I could have my own."
In the photo below we see Dr. Jonny Kim in a recent photos doing some soldering while rocking his Pepsi GMT-Master. Dr. Kim reminds me a bit of Dr. Leroy Chiao, who was also a NASA Astronaut, who served on missions aboard the International Space Station, and wears a Pepsi GMT-Master.
Special thanks to Philip from MoonwatchUniverse for originally bringing Jonny Kim's story to us.
