HELP!-Info needed-Usage of wristwatches in space

Hello!

I'm Lakshmi, a freelance writer based in India and I am writing an article on the current usage of wristwatches in space missions.

While I've been able find info on the history of wristwatches that went into space I'm finding it tough to compile info on what wristwatches astronauts are currently using on NASA and Russian space missions. Does anyone have any idea about the prominent set of watches that are currently used by astronauts?( while info on the Omega is available it's proving tough to find or know of other brands)

If anyone knows anything please--- do get back to me soon as I'm writing this on a very tight deadline. I'd really deeply appreciate any help you can give me!

Best wishes!
Lakshmi
