Omega on the moon!

Recommended Posts

Yup, Buzz Aldrin's was on the moon.

So was Neil Armstrong's. Two of the Apollo 11 Speedmaster's are in the Smithsonian...Armstrong's and Collin's. Aldrin shipped his to the Smithsonian, but it was stolen in transit. Someone, somewhere has a very, very valuable Omega! :)

Here's a nice hi-res photo of Aldrin wearing his: Aldrin On the Moon.

And here are Collin's and Armstrong's watches:

And just for the sake of trivia, Wally Schirra was the first to wear the Speedmaster in space in 1962. The Speedmaster is still the preferred watch for cosmonauts and astronauts, although it's the Speedmaster X33 version now.
