Record
NASA issued this Speedmaster to Eugene Cernan for Apollo 17, the final crewed lunar mission of the Apollo programme. NASA transferred the watch to the National Air and Space Museum in 1977. The object is individually identifiable rather than merely an example of its model, which is important for Arcarel’s object-level record. The cited Smithsonian Institution source supplies the key provenance, event or institutional facts used here. No unnamed buyer or owner has been inferred, and fields not established by the source are left blank. Its significance comes from the combination of the physical watch and the documented people, events, institutions or market history attached to this specific specimen.
