People ask what watch do you want, if you could have any watch? My "grail" is the Omega Speedmaster Professional (aka the Moonwatch.)
This is Buzz Aldrin wearing one during Apollo 11.
That's why.

n 1970, after Apollo 13 was crippled by the rupture of a service module oxygen tank, Jack Swigert's Speedmaster was used to time the critical 14-second burn using the lunar module's descent propulsion system, which allowed for the crew's safe return. In recognition of this, Omega was awarded the Snoopy Award by the Apollo 13 astronauts for "dedication, professionalism, and outstanding contributions in support of the first United States Manned Lunar Landing Project."
