The last astronaut to set foot on the moon was Eugene ‘Gene’ Cernan, who took last steps at 5.34 AM.
Apollo 17 Landed for my husbands birthday!
Bought a stunning Omega Apollo 17 anniversary edition for Martins 40th birthday. Got a fabulous deal on the watch and the transaction was made super easy but the team talking me through the purchase on line. Delivery was extremlely fast and the comms from the team faultless. Have been back on the website and found lots more pieces that I would buy, plus there is a boutique shop near where I work! Could be very handy for birthdays and Christmases or just 'I love you' presents going forward.
