Vintage Omega Speedmaster - one of the most historically significant chronographs ever produced.
For many collectors, the vintage Omega Speedmaster reaches its pinnacle with the legendary 105.003-65 'Ed White'. Produced before the introduction of the asymmetrical Professional case, it represents the final evolution of the original straight-lug Speedmaster and is widely regarded as one of the most desirable references in the model's history.
Named after NASA astronaut Ed White, who wore this reference during America's first spacewalk in 1965, the 105.003occupies a unique place in both horological and space exploration history. It is the last Speedmaster to feature the elegant symmetrical case before Omega introduced the now-famous twisted-lug Professional design.
This exceptional 1967 vintage Omega Speedmaster is an all-original example, featuring the highly sought-after 'DON' (Dot Over Ninety) tachymetre bezel, a beautifully aged matte black tritium dial and matching original white baton hands and chronograph hands. Together, these original components create exactly the honest, untouched character collectors look for in an important vintage Speedmaster.
At its heart is Omega's legendary Calibre 321 manual-wind chronograph movement- widely regarded as one of the finest chronograph calibres ever produced. The movement number dates production to 1967, placing this watch firmly within one of the most collectible periods of Speedmaster history.
Fitted to a quality JPM leather strap, the watch is accompanied by an official Omega Extract of the Archives, further confirming its provenance and adding to its appeal for serious collectors.
Few watches have influenced the history of horology quite like the vintage Omega Speedmaster, and the 105.003-65 'Ed White' remains one of its defining references. Combining rarity, originality, historical significance and enduring desirability, this is an outstanding opportunity to acquire a true cornerstone of vintage Omega collecting.
