·Donn Eisele wore two Speedmaster professional watches. The officially supplied watch was S/N 34. This watch was the ref. 105.012-65. He also wore another 105.012-65 but this was his own. NASA also gave this watch a serial number, which was unusual for an astronaut’s personal watch- S/N 38. This was sold by Sotheby’s.
Walter Cunningham also wore a reference 105.012-65, identifiable by the two step caseback.
Walter Schirra: hard to be definitive on this one. There is no records that I could find for this one, although from the shape of the lugs it does look like another 105.012-65. However, I cannot be 100% on it being a -65, althoughI am extremely confident it is a 105.012.
In summary:
Walter Cunningham: 105.012-65 (National Air and Space museum verified)
Donn Eisele: S/N 34 105.102-65 Recovered with NASA now S/N 38 105.012-65: Sotheby’s
Walter Schirra: 105.012 - derivative likely -65: UNVERIFIED
