I love all these pictures. are there any on the moon shots with a very clear speedy pro in them?
@mikesspeedy If you look back over the previous 19 pages you will find some of the best images out there of the Speedmaster on the Moon.
Here is an interesting fact about the image posted above by
@SpeedyPhill. There are a number of images, including the one above, that have been used to determine the time of events while astronauts were working on the Moon during post-mission reviews and studies. The above is one of a number of examples found in the
Apollo Surface Journal of how a single watch image has been used to determine the time of an event on the lunar surface.

The time determination made from the image cited -
Watch Detail (OF300) Lennie Waugh has captured a detail which gives us an excellent view of
Al's Omega Speedmaster Watch, which reads approximately 9:00. Waugh notes that the picture was taken at about transcript time of 113:52. This time does not reflect a 40 minute 2.9 second mission clock update performed at 54:53:36 but, rather, is the time since the actual launch at 21:03 GMT/UTC on 31 January 1971. Consequently, the photo was taken at about 14:55 GMT/UTC on 5 February, or 08:55 US Central Standard Time. The astronauts kept their watches on Houston time, as confirmed by this detail.
