OMEGA Speedmaster Ed White Reference 105.003-64

The Omega Speedmaster was introduced in 1957, initially created for drivers in automotive racing. However, it would reach iconic status by eventually reaching spaceflight qualification by NASA amongst several of the highest grade chronographs of its era.

This is an awesome reference 105.003, also referred to as the “Ed White” as it was famously worn by the astronaut. The watch dates to circa 1964. It is powered by the iconic calibre 321, which was recently re-released and garnered great reception and excitement from a large portion of watch collectors. The case is appears to have never been lightly polished. The dimensions are 38.5mm in diameter (or 48mm lug-to-lug) with a lug width of 19mm. The dot over 90 bezel is in great shape. The crown is original. The watch features an exhibition case back which was added by the previous owner to enjoy the calibre 321. It comes with the original case back and cover.

The watch does not come with box and papers or extract.
