An Omega Speedmaster watch that flew on Apollo 17 to the moon and returned to the Earth 43 years ago this week sold for $245,000 on Tuesday (Dec. 15) to the watchmaker’s own museum. The chronograph, which was used as part of an experiment in lunar orbit before it became command module pilot Ron Evans’ souvenir of the mission, was auctioned by Christie’s and will soon be displayed by Omega in Switzerland.
