Apollo 14 Lunar Module Pilot Edgar Mitchell adjusts two extra wristwatches he planned to take to the Moon aboard CSM “Kitty Hawk” and LM “Antares”. These are believed to be two personal Rolex GMT master 1675 timepieces. Note he already wore an official issued Omega Speedmaster 145.012 chronograph strapped over his left forearm. On the left is his Snoopy communication cap and on the right his personalized gloves for the A7L spacesuit. (Photo: NASA)

Apollo 14 Lunar Module Pilot Edgar Mitchell ready for final suitup on launchday on January 31, 1971. Note an extra wristwatch on each wrist tucked underneath the fireproof forearm underwear sleeve. Apollo astronauts could take personal items in their beta cloth PPK = Personal Preference Kit but Mitchell wore these personal timepieces underneath the A7L spacesuit, in addition to an official issued Omega Speedmaster chronograph strapped over his left forearm.

“We choose to go to the Moon! We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard; because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one we intend to win...” -President J.F.
