45 years ago, ex-Alaska II Project in space —

Fun fact: Omega's ultimate space watch, a Speedmaster chronograph in distinctive red outer protective case (code name Alaska Project II) was developed for use by Apollo astronauts riding on the bumpy and dusty lunar surface onboard the lunar rover Vehicles of NASA's moon project, but due to cancellation of Apollo 18-20 these time pieces never made it to the moon.

Instead these wristwatches were used 45 years ago as Soyuz 26 launched to the Salyut-6 space station on December 10, 1977.
