FLOWN APOLLO 13 WRIST WATCH STRAP.
Wrist watch strap, 22 inches long, ¾ inch wide. With 18 inches of Velcro loop and 3 inches of Velcro hook material on one side. A rectangular metal loop is at one end, and a dark green nylon identification tag at the other, read: "P/N SEB 12100030-202, S/N 1074."

This long strap allowed the Omega watch worn by Fred Haise during Apollo 13 to fit around the large left wrist of his Apollo space suit. Accompanied by a Typed Letter Signed by Haise, which reads in part: "I wore this watch band around my left arm while wearing my space suit during the Saturn V launch phase. While wearing my IVA coveralls, I wrapped this strap several times around my arm before fastening the velcro closure." The Omega Speedmaster Chronograph itself is in the Smithsonian NASM.
