Apollo 14... Playing golf on the lunar surface During the 1971 Apollo 14 lunar landing mission, commander Alan B. Shepard played a few golf shots in the Fra Mauro region on the Moon! NASA astronauts and sports always went together... 5 decades ago “Golf” became the sport of almost every astronaut as in 1968, astronaut chief Deke Slayton requested that he could play with other astronauts  and approached Golf-pro Danny Lawler to give the Apollo astronauts some  private lessons. Veteran-astronaut Alan Shepard was a keen golf player since the Mercury days and had the idea to play golf on the Moon ! On Apollo 14, Commander Shepard carried a make-shift Iron-6 attached to a geologic sample stick and hit two golf balls on the Moon. The make of the Golf balls was never revealed but the actual Golf stick sits in the U.S.G.A. museum in New Jersey - USA. Note astronaut/Admiral Alan Shepard wore an Omega Speedmaster "Moonwatch" chronograph in the photo holding the make-shift Iron-6 assembly geologic sample tool. (Photo: USGA/UPI)

FRATELLO: Speedy Tuesday –  Omega Speedmaster Professional 145.012 Buyer’s Guide 

Now that Omega introduced their new caliber 321 movement, it is time to have a look at the most affordable Speedmaster Professional pre-Moon watch with caliber 321: the Speedmaster Professional 145.012. It already went up in value over the last few years, but the introduction of the new caliber 321 movement could give it another little boost.

This reference was produced in 1967 and 1968. Some have been delivered a tad bit later (in 1969), but it was replaced by the 145.022-68 in 1968. It is the last Speedmaster with caliber 321 movement (based on the Lémania 27CH C12). Also, it was the Speedmaster with this sought-after column-wheel movement that had the highest production, somewhere between 27000 and 28000 pieces in total. This basically means that you still will find a lot of them, it is the easiest caliber 321 Speedmaster to find on the pre-owned market...
