Wilson can be seen wearing the 42mm stainless steel Speedmaster Moonwatch powered by Omega’s Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 3861.
The Speedmaster was the first watch to be worn on the moon in 1969, when astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walked on the lunar surface for the first time. One scene in the movie depicts Harper using the Speedmaster to keep track his remaining time before disaster echoing the real-life use of the chronograph to time a mission-critical burn during the infamous Apollo 13 mission.
Moonfall premieres on February 4 and also stars Halle Berry, John Bradley, Michael Peña, Charlie Plummer, Kelly Yu and Donald Sutherland.
