A very interesting and stunning Omega Speedmaster 'Straight Lugs' / 'Ed White' S 105.003-64 from 1964 with its original dial and beautifully faded original DON bezel (with the accent grave on the letter E). This 39MM 'Pre-Professional' still has the case with straight lugs (19 mm lug width instead of the later 20 mm on the 42MM Professional models (from ca. 1965 to present)). This Speedmaster is fitted with a black leather strap with an Omega buckle and runs and winds excellently. Why buy the new reborn Speedmaster 321 (ref. 311.30.40.30.01.001) when you can have the original?
