Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Cal 321 Ed White 311.30.40.30.01.001 2023 [Preowned]

Overview 

The Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Caliber 321 "Ed White" is a masterful reissue of the Speedmaster ST105.003, famously worn by astronaut Ed White during his 1965 spacewalk. The watch’s 39.7mm stainless steel case, featuring vintage-style straight lugs and a slimmer profile, stays true to the original's clean, understated design. A key aesthetic touch is the flat-link bracelet, which evokes the look of vintage Speedmasters, offering both comfort and a retro charm. The black dial showcases the classic applied vintage Omega logo and retains the iconic "dot over 90" bezel, a detail that aficionados appreciate for its historical accuracy.

Inside, Omega revived the legendary Caliber 321 movement, revered for its role in the early Speedmaster references and NASA's space missions. The meticulously hand-assembled movement can now be admired through the modern sapphire caseback, which adds a contemporary twist to the otherwise vintage aesthetics. The see-through caseback contrasts with the original model, where the movement was hidden, offering collectors a view of the reengineered mechanics in all their detail.

This Speedmaster not only celebrates a significant piece of space history but also elevates it with exquisite design elements. The combination of the vintage Omega logo, straight lugs, and flat-link bracelet captures the charm of 1960s Speedmasters, while the sapphire caseback and Caliber 321 enhance its allure for modern collectors. Its perfect blend of historical tribute and modern craftsmanship makes the "Ed White" a standout within the Speedmaster line, appealing to those who admire both technical precision and timeless design.
