Wally Schirra

"... the wristwatch worn by astronaut Wally Schirra on the last trip to the moon." Schirra wore the watch to space but never went to the moon, so what did NAWCC really say? Art LaPella (talk) 14:12, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

:February 2006 NAWCC BULLETIN (page 7), Star Watch Case Company 1897-1982 by Jack Linahan (MI); Star Watch Case Company Vol 48 Issue 360 pp 6-11 Feb 2006.pdf - Some of the more famous Star watch cases were used for Omega’s Pulsar watches, the Lord Elgin electronic watches, and the Omega Speedmaster Professional—the wristwatch worn by astronaut Wally Schirra on the last trip to the moon.

: June 25, 2010 - Hi Douglas,

:Yes I did get the signed jpg form back and that is fine. Here are the pdfs. By the way, if you are interested, membership in the NAWCC costs $70.00 per year and would grant you access to all the Bulletins from 1943 to current. It also would give you free research assistance from our Library group as well as borrowing rights to all our lending books and videos. There are also 100 videos online you could view as well as digitized information from Hamilton Watch Co. etc.''

:Thanks, Let me know how you make out. Kevin

:July 1, 2010 - Hi Doug,

:Your article in Wikipedia was a nice summary of the Star Watch Case Company. I especially like the photos since they help visualize the history and people of the Company.

:I’m glad we were able to help. Feel free to contact me with any other requests you might have. Thanks, Kevin

:: I just went by the article (Vol 48 Issue 360 pp 6-11 Feb 2006) AND it could very well be wrong.--Doug Coldwell talk 14:46, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

:::The Wally Schirra article doesn't mention going to the moon, and the Apollo 17 (last trip to the moon) article names its crew without mentioning Schirra, so I think it's definite that Schirra didn't go. Art LaPella (talk) 16:27, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Unclear sourcing of Omega Speedmaster use

Reference [https://web.archive.org/web/20200216193816/http://www.northernpartners.com/Star%20Watch%20Case.htm] used in the article says that the Omega Speedmaster started getting cases from Star Watch in 1978 which is after the moon visits. The reference [https://web.archive.org/web/20210420181819/https://www.shorelinemedia.net/ludington_daily_news/news/local/jensen-star-watch-case-company-the-products/article_80b6a2f5-4cd9-59b0-a86b-82dbcd3a7342.html], a local newspaper report, says that they were used to go to the moon without mentioning dates or much other information. Neither of the 2 sources attached to the Speedmaster paragraph mention the Star Watch Case Company. Gusfriend (talk) 11:53, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
