Currently the DW500 is probably the only watch to be both Navy dive- and NASA space approved.

Do you mean Casio? The DW-500 or DW-5000?

Does NASA space approval also apply when you fly with a Russian spaceship ? Because the US don't even have any manned spacecraft any more

You are right. That makes the NASA approval irrelevant.

Making the russians both the first and ´last´ btw and I cherish my Gagarin homage.
The Vostok Amphibian thus holds the candle of the current most extreme up <-> down watch.

But... the crux of the thread is that th US Navy approved digital watches with elapsed time function as dive watch.
