Legendary watch: Speedmaster Series (SPEEDMASTER) watch

On July 21, 1969, Neil Armstrong became the first man on the moon to report that the Omega Speedmaster wristwatch worn on his wrist was shown at 2:56 a.m. GMT. What we now know is that only Buzz Aldrin wears the watch while Armstrong keeps the watch in the lunar module as a precautionary measure after a cabin timer has failed. More precisely, Aldrin is wearing the watch on his forearms - using Velcro Velcro to tie up its cumbersome suit's sleeves. For years, it has been accurate to say that watches have been the standard equipment for American astronauts since 1964. But can it adapt to the situation in space? NASA bought five watches anonymously from local stores and finally selected the legendary watch after rigorous testing. Space watches must be strong and durable, able to withstand extreme pressures and accelerations, from -18 ° C to + 93 ° C temperature changes, of course, must be sealed moisture and dust. From the "Gemini" 3 mission to the last Apollo mission, the Omega Speedmaster began its journey to conquer the space, witnessing every milestone in its history, from the first spacewalk to the first orbital convergence, of course, as a standard First moon landing. It even played a key role in the fateful Apollo 13 mission: its mechanical chronograph accurately timed the ignition of a secondary rocket, thus correcting the orbital trajectory and allowing it to return to Earth. Decades later, super table is still the only watch to the moon. From this epic journey, the steel watch introduced in 1957 has undergone several transformations and is equipped with new movement to achieve a longer period of autonomous walking time. However, its identification mark has not changed: black dial, 60 seconds, 30 minutes and 12 hours plotter, bezel outside the scope, and steel chain strap. Omega Speedmaster will undoubtedly return to the moon, but no one can predict the exact time.
