Omega Speedmaster Tropical Dial “Ed White” Cal. 321 (Serviced)

Omega Speedmaster Ed White 105.003-65 – A Collector’s Treasure

Omega, a Swiss watch brand founded in 1848, is known for its precision, innovation, and iconic designs, making it one of the most respected names in horology. The Omega Speedmaster, famously known as the "Moonwatch," gained legendary status as the first watch worn on the moon during the Apollo 11 mission. 

The Omega Speedmaster "Ed White" 105.003-65, named after the astronaut who wore it during the first American spacewalk, is a highly collectible and historically significant model. Powered by the Caliber 321, a movement cherished by collectors for its reliability and craftsmanship, this specific reference is particularly sought after for its pre-professional design, which lacks the "Professional" designation seen in later Speedmaster models. With its tropical brown dial and original components, the 105.003-65 stands as a perfect representation of Omega's legacy in both space exploration and vintage watch collecting.
