Page "Bulova" Paragraph 12

In the 1960s, the company was involved in a notable space age rivalry with Omega Watches to be selected as the ' first watch on the moon '.

Ultimately, because Bulova either did not or could not certify the Accutron as dustproof, the Omega Speedmaster Professional chronograph wristwatch ( known as the " Moon watch ") was designated by NASA for use by the astronauts in all manned space missions, becoming the first watch on the moon on the wrist of Edwin ' Buzz ' Aldrin.
