Omega Speedmaster spaceflight ads & marketing ~ Defectum

While working on the complete spreadsheet which will list all wristwatches ever worn during spaceflight missions, an effort by the Space Watches Facebook group, we already bumped into some bad marketing purposes by our beloved brand...
.

Before the already-discussed photoshopping of NASA-photo STS069-714046 in the mid-1990s, shown here above it looks like someone also thought it was better that Apollo 11 astronaut Buzz Aldrin wore his Speedmaster on the left wrist in the well-known NASA-photo AS11-40-5903
... Why ?
.

In all honesty, we have to confirm such bad practises belong to the past, knowing a few people at Omega with a passion for aviation/spaceflight

However, modern 21st century marketing:

Next to Spaceflight we'll have to add Astronomy & Astrophysics as Yerkes observatory near Williams Bay in Wisconsin, was named the Geneva observatory on the official Omega museum instagram this morning...
Another failure ? Located next to Lake Geneva - Wisconsin, doesn't make it the Geneva observatory ... as far as I know 👎

An odd request perhaps, but if anyone could help I’d really appreciate it… I’m after some examples of modern-day Speedmaster advertising and/or marketing material… I’m particularly interested in the Omega Minute mailshots. Thanks in advance 😀

Well, I guess Omega is forgiven for adding the extra "Speedie" in their 1970s advertizing drawing, as the famous Edwin Aldrin Moonwalker photo lithograph (AS11-40-5903) was much darker than the cleaned-up digital version we have for the last 25 years...
Remember, on launch day Aldrin wore his NASA-issued Omega Speedmaster 105.012-65 n° 43 on his lefthand wrist, but on the Moon he wore it on his righthand wrist because he had to be able to clearly read the lunar surface procedures checklist sewn onto his left spacesuit glove!

Today's "influencers" are a FREE and FAST opportunity for brands to get their products shown to the world...
Where to start with the mistakes ?
3:44 Mercury shows a Gemini launch, Gemini shows an unmanned Agena launch, Apollo shows the MOL mockup launch of November 1966. While we have all the intricate details on Wally Schirra's 1961 Omega Speedmaster CK2998-4, date of production, date of shipment to USA, bought by Schirra and worn during NASA training, Sigma-7 and daily life during a period of 4 years, none of that historic data is mentioned in the video! #FOIS #moonwatchuniverse
