Taking a wild guess, it could go a couple different ways. Can't see them bringing out another 1st/2nd Gen X33 (maybe a 3rd Gen one) since Casio and Garmin has them beat for a fraction of the price.

Think they might take the X33 Marstimer or Skywalker platform and revamp it for the these new Artemis missions. Different color scheme and timers which can be used for miles milestones on the particular missions, can be programmed and adjusted on the fly. The casebacks could be sold in commemorative sets.

As for the moon landing, they will have a new Speedmaster coming out. Hopefully it's not a 44.25 mm Ceramic monstrosity which is oversized and doesn't fit all wrists. Or come out with a two watch combo. Standard 42 mm size with a single stone moon dial and a commemorative case back.

Half-way distance to flying around the Moon and RJ at Fratellowatches has made a superb fully detailed update:
#Speedytuesday April 7, 2026 the spacecraft will have passed at the Far Side of the Moon with Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen wearing an Omega Speedmaster "Dark Side on the Moon" at the wrist... Epic ! ( Christina Koch also took her father’s Speedmaster 3861 ).

Has anyone been able to identify what straps these are?

From the photos, they look like the stock Omega Kevlar strap. Part number 98000069. E.g. here or here.
