NASA överförde 55 Speedmaster-klockor till museum 1976

NASA överlämnade 55 av sina Omega Speedmaster-kronografer till National Air and Space Museum i Washington, DC, den 27 april 1976. Myndigheten hade tagit emot totalt 100 sådana klockor från Omega mellan 1965 och 1968. Av dessa användes 71 stycken under rymdfärder mellan 1965 och 1975.

Klockorna bar unika NASA-identifieringsnummer och tilldelades astronauter för Gemini- och Apollo-uppdrag. Eugene Cernan bar NASA-nummer 28 under tre flygningar, inklusive Gemini IX-A, Apollo 10 och Apollo 17. NASA behöll de resterande klockorna för träning inför rymdfärjeprogrammet fram till 1985, då de flesta exemplar som varit i rymden redan hade överförts till museet.
