This thread inspired me to look for an Astronaut.They're a cracking watch with a rich history.
I grabbed an interesting one a while ago, and have been doing a lot of reading about the model since then.
It wasn't working, but came at a good price
Anyway, I recently got a standard 214 movement, and transplanted it into my Astronaut:

It hums along and runs like a steam train now ! Keeps excellent time too.
Notice it doesn't have the 24 hour indicator. The 214 movement doesn't have the additional gear to drive this hand.
I'll keep an eye out for 214HN movement. Until then, I'm happy just to have it running.
Also notice the AOPA logo on the dial. It stands for Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association. Pretty rare I think.
Gotta look for a nice bracelet now................
Rgds.
