Harrison Schmitt’s Omega Speedmaster, Apollo 17

Harrison Schmitt, the only professional geologist to travel to the Moon, wore this Speedmaster during Apollo 17 in December 1972. 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.
