Can anyone identify Buzz Aldrin's watch, worn in this Quaker Oats ad? The watch first appears at about 1:12.

Here is my clumsy effort at a screen-grab.

He has a sponsorship deal with Omega....
So I'm guessing Omega Speedmaster Professional... (The Moonwatch)

He wore one 48 years ago today...

Yup. I think that nails it! A boy's got to earn a living!

His quote about his Mother, and her maiden name in the Omega blurb is quality! .....

“My mother was born the year that the Wright brothers first flew. Marion Moon was her name.”
