Speedmaster(s) and NASA Houston
I was on Vacation in Houston last week. While not an owner, I have always been a Speedmaster fan. Omega was obviously marketing.
Two very large Speedmaster Clocks and every space suit had a Speedmaster on it, not the original Speedmaster though. Pics to follow, had issues linking them to this initial post |

Not entirely true. Dave Scott's (Apollo 15) Speedy popped the crystal off on EVA 2. He wore his personal Bulova Accutron chrono on EVA 3.
https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/moon-watch-sells-for-$1million Similary, Charlie Duke's crystal popped off on EVA 3 (Apollo 16), but John Young's was still running. Officially, the Speedmaster was and still is the only wristwatch approved by NASA for EVA duty.
