Men’s Liberty Coin Watch

Fifty years ago, man landed on the moon for the very first time. Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins were the crew of the Apollo 11 mission, with Armstrong and Aldrin descending to the moons surface in the lunar module, named Eagle. As soon as the lunar module touched down, and Armstrong and Aldrin had completed their checklist, Armstrong sent the famous message back to mission control: Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed. From there, it was just one small step outside. And, the rest they say, is history.
