The Apollo 15 mission logo even has, on the rightside, a Roman number XV sitting among the lunar craters ...
I have seen David Scott wearing this bi-toned Omega Speedmaster chronograph.

An underappreciated model imo. Thanks for your article, RJ.
Have been enjoying mine on a brown strap lately.

Here's the curvy Roman XV, by the way.

Love the fact that Scott is actually a fan of the watch that commemorates the Apollo 15 mission.
