·Interesting article as on 23rd January 2019 I had asked Alfred Worden about his watches !
This Golay-Longines wrist watch did not fly onboard any spaceflight mission. In fact, there're no NASA training photos showing the watch being used other than the official 1971 WSS - White Space Suit portrait. The Apollo 15 astronauts each received two NASA-issued Omega Speedmaster chronographs, of which one, on their demand, was modified with a practical " 60 minutes " bezel. In the end the original Speedmaster with Tachymètre bezel was worn during Apollo 15, with David Scott carrying an extra Bulova stopwatch and a 44 mm Bulova prototype 885104 chronograph which he worn during Lunar-EVA-3 until splash-down back on Earth!
Won't share what Worden said about modern day watches... #MoonwatchUniverse
