41 years ago on December 7, 1972, the last men to walk on the moon launched in Apollo 17.

Speedmasters were gracing their wrists.

If I remember, they used to sell or give them away as promotional items.

These are Timely wrist calendars. Last year I had a conversation with an Apollo astronaut about the JB bracelet and the calendars I was seeing attached to them in various images. He told me they were made my Timely and I was able to track down a new set of 1968 and 1969 calendars along with a pack of used various years including this 12/72 one. I have seen a few promotional ones for sale as well.

Is there a gold tone to that JBC bracelet?

Yes there are and they are very nice. The are relatively inexpensive as we'll compared to the NASA style ones. I had a 10k filled one last year I picked up for around $175.

If you look at eBay and search JB Champion bracelet a number of gold filled ones are currently for sale. There are two styles, the mesh style and another. I've only tried the mesh. Keep checking they show up quite often.
