The ‘Other’ Moon Watch Could Be Yours!

Oct 02, 2024 – The OMEGA Speedmaster proudly wears the ‘Moonwatch’ name and rightly so, it earned the name as the first watch ever worn on the moon, arriving in 1969 aboard the Apollo 11. Just a couple of years later in 1971, American astronaut Edgar Mitchell went for a stroll across the moon’s surface as part of the Apollo 14 space mission. Edgar wasn’t wearing an OMEGA on his wrist though, instead a ref 1675. Rolex GMT-Master ‘Pepsi’. Now that first Rolex to ever reach the moon is coming up for auction, meaning with a deep enough pocket you could be the proud owner of a serious conversation starter. Bidding has already started, and is currently just under $50,000. You can register and bid up until the auction close on 25th October. Good luck!
