NASA transferiu 55 relógios Speedmaster para museu em 1976

A NASA forneceu 55 de seus cronógrafos Omega Speedmaster para o National Air and Space Museum em Washington, DC, em 27 de abril de 1976. A agência havia recebido um total de 100 relógios desse modelo da Omega entre 1965 e 1968. Desses, 71 foram utilizados durante missões espaciais de 1965 a 1975.

Os relógios carregavam números de identificação únicos da NASA e foram entregues aos astronautas para as missões Gemini e Apollo. Eugene Cernan usou o exemplar de número 28 da NASA em três voos, incluindo o Gemini IX-A, Apollo 10 e Apollo 17. A NASA manteve os relógios restantes para treinamento do Ônibus Espacial até 1985, quando a maioria dos exemplares que voaram no espaço já havia sido transferida para o museu.
