Lige <> snoede horn
... det kunne jeg heller ikke verificere (i hvert fald ikke på et øjeblik); men fra denne kilde: (Omega Press kit): "James H. Ragan: NASA’s man behind the MoonWatch", læses:
No, NASA never mandated any changes to OMEGA. However, the first chronographs that NASA bought were model 6049 (USA designation). These were to be used for the Gemini program.
I found during crew usage for training and flight that it was very easy to bend or break the chronograph function buttons on the side. The case did not provide any protection for them.
I asked OMEGA to consider redesigning the case to provide a little recess to better protect these buttons.
OMEGA willingly redesigned the case and this configuration became the new version of the chronograph. It has the exact same movement – just a different case.
This model was designated 6126 (USA designation). The model 6049 was used throughout Gemini and I started using the model 6126 model for Apollo and beyond.
Det lyder altså til, at den asymmetriske kasse (med bedre beskyttelse af krone og knapper), er eneste udtrykte NASA ønske om Speedmasterens udformning.
Ifølge Chuck Maddox: History of the Omega Speedmaster skete denne ændring i 1966, samtidig med de snoede "lyre" horn på ref. ST105.012.
Det kan være, at det er denne (NASA)udbedte forbedring, der ligger til grund for antagelsen om ændring af lige horn til snoede horn?????
I hvert fald fik NASA den udbedte krone & knap beskytter, sammen med de snoede horn.
