The Omega Speedmaster “Ed White” Ref. 311.30.40.30.01.001 is a faithful reissue of the legendary 1965 Speedmaster worn by astronaut Ed White during America’s first spacewalk, featuring a 39.7mm stainless steel case with symmetrical lugs and a dot-over-90 bezel that perfectly captures the vintage aesthetic. This manual-wind chronograph showcases a matte black step dial with applied Omega logo and luminous hour markers, paired with the iconic alpha hands and straight seconds hand that defined the original, powered by Omega’s Caliber 1861 – the same movement used in modern Moonwatches – offering 48-hour power reserve and chronograph functionality with column-wheel mechanism. The Hesalite crystal maintains historical accuracy while providing excellent scratch resistance, and the solid caseback commemorates Ed White’s 1965 spacewalk with special engraving. The watch comes on a brown leather strap with vintage-style stitching and a stainless steel buckle, complete with an additional NASA-style velcro strap for authentic spaceflight appeal. Every detail reflects Omega’s meticulous attention to the original 105.003 reference, from the thin crown guards to the correct font on the tachymeter scale, making this one of the most historically accurate Speedmaster reissues ever created. Presented in special Omega packaging with strap-changing tool and booklet, this “Ed White” Speedmaster offers collectors a rare opportunity to own a piece of spaceflight history with modern reliability. Key specifications: 39.7mm stainless steel case; black step dial; Caliber 1861 manual-wind chronograph; 48-hour power reserve; brown leather strap with velcro option; Hesalite crystal; solid engraved caseback.
