Digging through what NASA claims is the complete image collection for the entire Apollo project (I am sure they omitted the pictures of the green moon aliens.... ;-) ) I found a few pictures that would interest Omega fans. Some of these images have been seen many times before and some not.... I am only half way through the images (there are a lot!) but so far I can only spot Speedmasters... not a Rolex in sight ;-)

This is a marvelous collection of photos, which are now easier than ever to access. I had been rooting through the "mother lode" of archived images on a nasa.gov server, but it was tough going due to the way the images are organized and presented there. Thanks for presenting this source here.

@Joe K. lf you come across any images you feel are particularly share-worthy, it'd be awesome if you could post 'em on this thread where we have a rather eclectic collection of watch-themed images from the NASA archives:

@Joe K. -- the repository I was sifting through does have quite a few photos of Buzz Aldrin wearing Rolexes during pre-flight training.

 

these photos are lovely, thanks for them

 

I know. My comment was "tongue-in-cheek"

 

A few more....

I was already searching for good pics of "Speedys in Space" so thank you very much for the great collection!

 

here is another one, also if its still grounded

 

and it's not from an Apollo Mission but 2003 ISS Mission if I am right...

 

Those are certainly the russian spacesuits - you can tell by the bent over posture of the astro/cosmonauts! They are made for sitting in the capsule, that's why they look like that.

 

so cool
