On June 1, the extremely rare Omega Speedmaster that once belonged to the Apollo 11 astronauts promises to create a new “seismic” in the upcoming auction. The watch was presented to astronaut Michael Collins upon his return to Earth from the Apollo 11 lunar mission. Although he has not set foot on the Moon (he serves as the module commander, while Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong were the ones who landed on the surface of the Moon), Collins still played a very important role throughout the US space mission.

During the mission, the astronauts wore steel Omega Speedmasters, and the Swiss watch brand launched a limited edition of 1,014 gold watches to commemorate the successful mission. The first 28 watches were numbered and issued to US officials and NASA astronauts in order of seniority (Collins’s was numbered 19). The first two watches were given to then US President Richard Nixon and Vice President Spiro Agnew but they declined the gift, and they are now housed in the Omega museum in Switzerland. The remaining numbered watches will be open to the public.

The back of the watch is engraved with a name dedicated to Michael Collins.
