Today at #SothebysNewYork, astronaut Buzz Aldrin’s personal Omega Speedmaster Professional circa 1990 blasted off in the auction room, achieving nearly 6x its low estimate. Watch the moment it sold for a final hammer price of 44,800 USD. The most famous use of the Speedmaster was during the Apollo 11 mission. They’ve been known as ‘Moon Watches’ ever since. Neil Armstrong left his Speedmaster in the Lunar Module during their Lunar EVA, while Aldrin wore his, becoming the first astronaut to do so. Considering consignment? Sell with us at the link in bio.
