1964 Omega Speedmaster "Ed-White" Faded DON Bezel 105.003
Here we have a rare 1964 Omega Speedmaster "Ed-White" Faded DON Bezel 105.003, a pre-professional Speedmaster that went under rigorous testing by NASA. The 105.003 was famously worn by Lt. Col Edward White over his Astronauts suit on June 3rd, 1965, he was the first US Astronaut to complete the very first extravehicular spacewalk (EVA) on this day during the Gemini IV mission, this was just 3 months after Omega was Officially Certified to be used in the NASA space program. The 39mm stainless steel case curves over your wrist with tapered straight-ended lugs, and a lug-to-lug length of 47.5mm and a case thickness of 12.5mm ensure a comfortable fit. Down the right side, we have the short piston-style chronograph pushers and a signed crown in the centre. The fixed stainless steel bezel has a Tachymeter scale insert that has âghostâ faded over time and has the characteristic âDot Over Ninetyâ. A domed acrylic crystal sits above a black stepped dial, an outer minute track sits lower than the centre disc and is precisely executed with Tritium indexes marking the hours, at 3 oâclock a recessed 30-minute register, at 6 oâclock a recessed 12-hour register and finally at 9 oâclock a recessed continuous seconds register, each with a stick hand and precisely printed markings, slender original baton hands have been professionally relumed and complemented by an arrow paint chronograph hand, at 12 oâclock we have the applied Omega motif and Omega Speedmasterâ printed underneath, on the bottom edge, you find âT Swiss Made Tâ completing this stunning historical chronograph. On the reverse a lightly engraved âSpeedmasterâ and Hippocampus that represents Neptune the God of the sea, it was conceived by Pierre Borie after seeing a picture of Neptune riding a chariot pulled by seahorses, it is the reason why the seahorses are wearing a bridle. Inside a manually wound Omega Cal. 321, 17 jewels, beating at a leisurely 18,000 beats per hour, column wheel chronograph based on a Lemania 2310. The watch comes paired with its well-suited 19mm leather strap.
