And yeah, Omega isn't a sponsor of NASA, the Omega Speedmaster, as Table said, was chosen by NASA for the NASA astronauts after undergoing testing. Pretty neat.

Depends what you mean by sponsorship. This, would be sponsorship to me. Also, considering how much money they invested into keeping the speedmaster as the "official" watch, I would classify them as sponsors. Although funds were not directly passed from one company to another, there was a deliberate attempt to supply novel technology at next to nothing.
