Cosmonaut Flown Omega X-33 Watch. Sold for Over $20,000.
Nate D. Sanders Auctions has sold the following space memorabilia:
Jack Swigert’s personally owned and worn Rolex, possibly given to him by Rolex’s CEO after Swigert’s return from the Apollo 13 mission. During that mission, in which Swigert famously told NASA, “Houston, we’ve had a problem”, Swigert used his Rolex (and his Omega Speedmaster, worn on his other wrist) to keep time in the Lunar Module, which was powered down so as to conserve energy following the aborted mission, thereby allowing the astronauts to return to Earth. Because the timing devices in the Module were not available to the men, Swigert was tasked with timing the engine burns that kept them on a trajectory to reenter Earth’s atmosphere.
Upon their successful return to Earth, Swigert gifted his Rolex to CEO Rene Jeanneret writing, “To my longtime friend Rene Jeanneret who enabled me to always be on time with sincere thanks Jack Swigert”. Upon receiving this gift, Jeanneret in turn gave Swigert a brand-new Rolex Mocha GMT Master; the watch presented here at auction for the first time is also a Rolex Mocha GMT Master. With serial number 1934406, manufactured in 1969, Rolex is an Oyster Perpetual Date Chronometer with the “root beer” style two-tone bezel, in 18kt yellow gold with a Jubilee bracelet and nipple dial. Light wear from use, watch is fully operational and in near fine, vintage condition. With an LOA from Jack Swigert’s sister, Virginia Swigert. Sold for $20,625.
Apollo 11 Crew-Signed Certificate, Also Signed by Richard Nixon — Very Rare Replica of the One Left on the Moon — With Steve Zarelli & University Archives COAs for All Signatures
Very rare certificate — a replica of the one left on the lunar surface by the Apollo 11 crew — signed by Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, Michael Collins and President Richard Nixon. Upon the certificate, which is signed next to the mens’ printed signatures, it reads, “Here Men From the Planet Earth First Set Foot Upon The Moon July 1969, A.D. We Came In Peace For All Mankind”. Visible portion of certificate measures 8″ x 6.5″, double matted to a size of 16.5″ x 15.5″. Near fine condition. With a COA from Steve Zarelli for all three Apollo 11 signatures, and a COA from University Archives for Richard Nixon’s signature. The only such Apollo 11 item signed by both the crew and President that we have seen. Sold for $15,000.
Apollo 13 Flown Instrument Cover & Omega Velcro Watch Strap From Jack Swigert’s Estate
Lot of two items from Jack Swigert’s estate. First item is an Apollo 13 flown instrument cover, measuring 1.75″ in diameter, made of a stainless steel disc with an articulated ring at center. Above and below the ring are codes printed in black that read, ”P/NSEB33100063-301 / S/N1017 ASSY.” A small square of velcro is affixed to verso at center, certainly to secure cover in place in the weightless environment of space. Lot also includes Swigert’s NASA issued Omega velcro watch strap, worn by Swigert over his space suit, and likely space flown. Velcro strap with metal fastener is imprinted with code numbers ”P/N SEB12100030-202 / S/N 1067”. Measures 22” in length. Some dulling and superficial marks to lid and soiling to velcro strap. Near fine overall. With an LOA from the estate of Jack Swigert. Sold for $13,920.
