Its story can be summed up with one simple acronym: NASA. Surely, this is not a watch that needs an introduction with our audience....\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eAnd as with so many other icons and popular vintage models, the Speedmaster has seen countless iterations and variants over its nearly 70-years of continuous production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Reference that we have here, a 105.003-65 'Ed White,' was produced from 1963-1969 and is without a doubt one of the most instantly recognizable and important Speedmaster variants ever made. It's namesake was a great man, best known for his endeavors into space with NASA and its Gemini IV project. In addition to being a highly qualified astronaut, Ed White was the first human being to ever perform a spacewalk, and he happened to be wearing a Reference 105.003.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eThis particular example dates to circa 1967 and is offered in strong overall condition, with a thick and symmetrical case that shows normal signs of wear. It retains its correct signed crown, pushers, inner dust cover, and signed screw-down caseback. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eIt comes fitted to a modern steel 'flat-link' bracelet with a blade clasp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eOf course, powering this piece is the legendary Cal. .321 manual-winding chronograph movement — regarded as one of the finest ever produced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eLast but not least, this piece possesses a very special and rare black 'pulsations' bezel, rather than \u003cem\u003ethe typical\u003c\/em\u003e 'Dot Over 90' unit. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eVintage Omega, with Speedmasters in particular, are something of a bargain on the market today, relative to their position just five or so years ago... Pricing for an example like this would have started with a '2 ,' making the one we have here an excellent pick-up. We've got nothing but faith and love in what is very likely the most important wrist watch of all time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oliver \u0026 Clarke","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51641239470397,"sku":"OC3125","price":15350.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/6138\/3741\/files\/OMEGA_SPEEDMASTER_BLK_WEB_1_90201c63-be8d-452c-8397-e79c6ff98b6e.jpg?v=1777408496","url":"https:\/\/oliverandclarke.com\/products\/omega-speedmaster-ref-105-003-65-ed-white-pulsations-bezel","provider":"Oliver \u0026 Clarke Vintage Watches","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
