 The selection of the Omega Speedmaster Professional Chronograph as the official watch worn by American astronauts . All subsequent manned NASA missions also used this handwound wristwatch. NASA started selecting the chronograph in the early 60s and automatic chronograph wristwatches were not available   until 1969 The Omega Speedmaster Professional Chronograph was the first watch on the Moon, worn by "Buzz" Aldrin. This watch is now believed lost. Aldrin mentions in his book Return to Earth that when donating several items to the  Smithsonian Institution,  his  Omega  was one of the few

things that was stolen from his personal effects. In 2007, to mark the 50th anniversary of the Omega Speedmaster Professional Chronograph, the Omega company unveiled the commemorative Speed-master Professional Chronograph Moonwatch. The watch had the distinctive features of the first hand- winding Omega Speedmaster introduced in 1957. It was sold in a limited edition of 5,957.
