The Certificate from the OMEGAMANIA Theme Auction during which the present watch was purchased in 2007, lot 204, confirms that it was originally sold on 17 November 1966.
This Speedmaster ‘Ed White’ 105.003-65 is an extremely well-preserved example of this iconic tool watch, still retaining the original crystal with the etched Omega logo to the centre, original crown and the stainless steel semi-extendable bracelet ref. 1035 with original “6” endlinks, clasp stamped 1.67. The “dot over 90” tachymeter bezel is likewise the correct version for the model.
The case shows little wear and has not been overpolished, with crisp hippocampus and engraving “Speedmaster” to the outside.
The original dial features the applied Omega logo, the luminous material on the hour markers shows an attractive cream tone.
Reference 105.003 was introduced in 1963 and remained in production until 1966. It is the last of the Speedmasters with straight lugs, as opposed to the curved lugs of later versions. The model derives its nickname from NASA astronaut Ed White who was wearing it during the first American spacewalk during Gemini 4 mission in 1965.
It is powered by the famous calibre 321, a column-wheel chronograph movement considered one of the best ever made. It was used in all pre-professional Speedmasters until Omega introduced the non-column wheel Cal. 861.
Reference 105.003 is illustrated and described in The Master of Omega by Alberto Isnardi, pp. 26 & 27, and in Moonwatch Only - The Ultimate Omega Speedmaster Guide by Grégoire Rossier and Anthony Marquié, pp. 266-275.
