First Watch Worn on the Moon
I've always had a thing for wristwatches and the Apollo Space program, so this year I indulged and I bought an Omega Speedmaster Professional as a birthday present to myself.
This year is the 50th anniversary of the Speedmaster's introduction and it has had a long history. Click the link below for more information.
The back of the watch is engraved with the Speedmaster mascot and the words:
FLIGHT QUALIFIED BY NASA FOR ALL
MANNED SPACED MISSIONS
FIRST WATCH
WORN ON THE MOON

Those are nice pictures. The choice of fabric makes them look very professional, IMO.
ReplyDeleteThanks. It was just a lens cloth that I use with my camera :0).
