I watched a great Netflix documentary last night on Apollo 13 and I found it so cool that everyone was wearing a watch. I mean everyone. It was an additional nugget and I kept trying to see what the watches were. It is really worth watching and fun to see days past when everyone wore a watch.

I am sure the watch was a critical tool for them. I am not sure they had other time keeping devices on them to log important events.

I have seen it, it’s outstanding. Thought it was very well done, ton of original footage and audio. wasn’t it a Rolex that help save them, that’s what I heard many years ago.

Ok just looked it up and everything I’m finding is it was an issued Speedy that saved the day. I’ve heard the same story about a Rolex, maybe a different mission.
