Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:520891 | Colour: White |

A vintage Omega Speedmaster 105.003 Ed White with Cal. 321 movement and Omega Extract of Archives.
Must be one of the last few straight lug Speedmasters to be sold. As stated on the Archive document, it was registered on the 31st January 1969 - the year of the Apollo 11 Moon Landing - which would make a great 50th birthday gift!

MovementMovement number is 2, 6xx, xxx, Caliber 321. It winds smoothly, tic...ks nicely. Runs a little fast - haven't timed it - but I know that after a couple of weeks or so it is running fast, so could do with a service. Chrono runs and resets.
CaseIt has the Dot-over-Ninety bezel and is in used condition, with some wear but overall nice and round with the DON clear. There's a fair amount of marks as you would come to expect of a watch of this vintage, but the lugs still have some bevelled edges.
DialStepped dial with applied Omega logo without the 'professional' text. The hour markers have a nice patina, turning a nice dark yellowish-orange colour. Spear chrono hand. I'm not sure if the hands have been re-lumed in the past or not because sometimes there is a slight glow to them in the dark. But the shade of the hands match the hour markers (the hour markers do not glow).
I don't want to describe the dial as tropical but sometimes the dial looks like it has a brown-ish tinge to it, other times a grey-ish faded black.
IncludedWatch comes on black Nato Strap with Extract of Archives document and red Omega carrying case.

Will update it soon.On 29-May-19 at 14:08:50 BST, seller added the following information:Just updated with pictures of the movement and inside the caseback.
I had a question asking if everything is original. Not being the original owner, I don't know the full history of the watch. I bought the watch from a dealer and the only thing they suggested might've been replaced is the crown.
