“Okay, Houston, we've had a problem here,” begins one of the most inspiring tales of bravery in American history. 

Inside the Apollo 13 module, there had been a critical failure that threatened the safety of astronauts Jim Lovell, Fred Haise, and Jack Swigert. With his OMEGA Speedmaster, Command Module Pilot Swigert timed 14 seconds bursts to send the capsule on a trajectory back towards earth, forever launching them into history - and earning OMEGA its Silver Snoopy Award. 

After 53 years with his family, we’re proud to unveil Jack Swigert’s personal Omega Speedmaster 145.022 BA. The commemorative watch gifted by OMEGA to space flown members of the earliest NASA missions, celebrating “man’s conquest of space, with time, through time, on time,” will head to auction in the Important Watches sale at #SothebysNewYork on 9 June.
