Omega 105.003-65 Speedmaster SS Black Dial

The Omega Speedmaster 105.003‑65, affectionately known as the “Ed White,” debuted circa 1966 and stands as a cornerstone in the Speedmaster lineage. Housed in a straight‑lug stainless steel case of approximately 39 mm diameter and 13.3 mm thickness, it embodies the austere, professional tool‑watch aesthetic that defined Omega’s pre‑Moon era. Powered by the revered manual‑winding Caliber 321, this chronograph movement features a column‑wheel mechanism, Breguet overcoil, and monometallic balance—elements that underscore its technical pedigree and enduring appeal among collectors. Issued without crown guards, with a stepped black dial and baton hands, the 105.003‑65 was flight‑qualified by NASA and famously worn by astronaut Ed White during the first American spacewalk in 1965, cementing its historical significance. Its rarity, original design purity, and direct connection to space exploration make it a highly coveted reference. The combination of its mechanical excellence, space‑flight provenance, and classic Speedmaster styling ensures this reference remains a benchmark for vintage chronograph enthusiasts. Excellent Condition with EWC leather travel pouch.
