Summary
The Artemis II crew members were each issued a Speedmaster X-33 wristwatch for their mission, the long-lived digital astronaut watch from official NASA supplier Omega, whose legendary Speedmaster Professional “Moonwatch” accompanied Apollo astronauts to the lunar surface in 1969. (Commander Reid Wiseman reportedly brought a traditional Moonwatch along for the ride as well.) Omega doesn't have an exclusive lock on what wristwear NASA astronauts choose to bring along themselves, as the reported presence of three Navitimer Cosmonaute watches from Breitling—modern updates of a watch worn by astronaut Scott Carpenter when he orbited Earth in 1962—proves otherwise. But neither Swiss maker is set to be the first brand to have a watch back on the moon.
