Anyone know this moon watch?

I came across this and am curious as to what edition of moon watch it represents.

Huh-I've never seen that one before. SafetyStop is the speedy expert in these parts so hopefully-if he takes a break from paddling it-he'll chime in. Cool looking piece all the way though.

May represent one of the special Apollo mission watches (specifically Apollo 16) as the logo has a striking resemblance to this:

These were part of the Omega Missions Collection, as detailed in this link:

Yup they were part of a collection. http://cgi.ebay.com/RARE-OMEGA-SPEEDMAS ... istwatches
You can grab the set right now on the bay. :shock:

Thanks so much! I was wondering if it was part of that set. I came across the single piece for sale....
