Neil Armstrong's 18-karat gold Omega Speedmaster Professional watch, the first man to set foot on the moon, has sold for $2.2 million at auction.

"This watch, which my father loved to wear on special occasions, symbolizes one of the most remarkable achievements in human history," said the astronaut's son, Mark Armstrong.

$850,000 of the money paid for the watch will be donated to charities of Armstrong's son's choice.
