La NASA transfirió 55 relojes Speedmaster a un museo en 1976

La NASA entregó 55 de sus cronógrafos Omega Speedmaster al Museo Nacional del Aire y el Espacio en Washington, DC, el 27 de abril de 1976. La agencia había recibido un total de 100 relojes de este tipo por parte de Omega entre 1965 y 1968. De ellos, 71 fueron utilizados durante misiones de vuelo espacial entre 1965 y 1975.

Los relojes llevaban números de identificación únicos de la NASA y fueron entregados a los astronautas para las misiones Gemini y Apollo. Eugene Cernan utilizó el ejemplar con el número 28 de la NASA en tres vuelos, incluidos Gemini IX-A, Apollo 10 y Apollo 17. La NASA conservó los relojes restantes para el entrenamiento del transbordador espacial hasta 1985, cuando la mayoría de los ejemplares que habían volado en el espacio ya habían sido trasladados al museo.
