Why Omega has "The Right Stuff"...
Most of you may have known this stuff, but I found it a really cool article.Remarkable clocks and watches: the first - and only - watch on the moonSince 1969 Omega has been able to promote its Speedmaster chronograph as the "first watch on the moon." NASA had chosen the Swiss-made timekeeper for all its astronauts four years earlier, so it was natural that Buzz Aldrin should have been wearing it when he took his momentous step onto the lunar surface.
