Omega Speedmaster 60th Anniversary On the Moon

The Apollo 11 mission was in July 1969 and at 20:17:40 UTC on July 20, 1969, the lunar lander landed on the moon, on the so-called Sea of Tranquility. While their fellow astronaut Michael Collins remained in the Apollo capsule, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin spent a total of 21 hours, 36 minutes on the moon’s surface. In total they spent 2 hours, 31 minutes outside the lunar lander, walking on the surface, taking photographs, collecting material samples, and deploying automated scientific instruments.

On the Moon: according to Aldrin the digital counter on the astronauts suit, which indicated the time spent outside the lunar lander and air used from the breathing apparatus, did not always work perfectly. A good old-fashioned mechanical backup, the Omega Speedmaster on a long velcro strap, was used by him during the moon walks. Inside Apollo 11: the Speedmaster played a pivotal role in keeping the team informed about the actual time on Earth. Mission control was in Houston, Texas, and while Apollo 11 was orbiting Earth, the three gents inside didn’t ‘feel’ day & night as we do on Earth.More replica Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch.

With the Speedmaster on the wrist it was easy to know the time on Earth, so they felt more at home, and knew when talking to mission control, who were on 8-hour shifts, who was awake and who not. The astronauts returned home safely on July 24, 1969.
