145.012 on the moon? I believe so!

I frequently read that only the 105.012 has been proven to have been on the moon. On what is this based? According to what I've read I've compiled this list of Apollo astronaut watches. I assume the switch from 105.012 to 145.012 happened before either NASA issue number 70,71 or 73 implying that Collins, Shepard and Mitchell had 145.012s. This is born out by the pics from the Smithsonian I've included below showing the taller pushers and flat-end chrono hands. I can't find Lovell or Roosa's Speedy's anywhere. The issue number I believe correlates better with year of production than serial number as we all know Omega was a bit haphazard with the chronological order of serial numbers back then.

So who believes as I do that at least 2 astronauts (Shepard & Mitchell during Apollo 14 in 1971) walked on the moon with 145.012s? If you have other evidence please tell!

*Unknown whether 105.012 or 145.012

I believe from number 71 or 73 the chronographs were either 145.012-67 or 145.012-68

Armstrong 105.012-65:


Collins 145.012-68:


But here it gets interesting:

Mitchell: 145.012-67/68


Shepard 145.012-67/68:

Most of use have their own listing of Apollo era flown Speedmaster chronographs... As mentioned in other topics, Omega SA Heritage team is working together with NASA and NASM to update the complete list ... and tell us where Aldrin's Speedmaster was found ( Cerca Trova ):
See: https://www.hq.nasa.gov/alsj/omega.html
🍿

Yes, I read that link too and I certainly hope they've found Aldrin's Speedy! 😁

Yes, I found a few. What's your opinion on the matter of Shepard's and Mitchell's Speedy's? Here are pics of Shepard with Speedy including on the moon. Don't you think they are tall pushers? 😁

There's no use for discussion... Omega, NASA & NASM are working on it and Omega will reveal the list next year as 2019 will be their year!
So it's completely their show in accordance with their worldwide strategy... All we can do is wait...

Speculation is fun! I'm sure waiting will indeed be the only option to be 100% sure.....

Swiss Omega watches heritage team and the American NASM staff are right on it as we speak... so let's give them a few more months.
Meanwhile I'll be posting some detailed photos in the Hidden gems from the NASA photo archive topic 😀
Here's the Apollo 14 Shepard
.

Nice DON bezel!

Yeah!... 'no bout adoubt it'! 👍.... those pushers look really tall in those pictures???... They clearly look 0.5mm taller than 3.0mm pushers on a 105.012-65! 😁

Without speculation I just want to say that the best Apollo 11 NASA photos show a drop end chronograph hand, so the difference remains only with the pushers being wide & short versus wide & tall ... We'll know soon enough...
