Reference ST105.003 was in production between 1963 and 1966, which came to be known as “Ed White” after being worn by Edward Higgins when he became the first American to ‘walk in space’. Unlike other Omega references, reference ST105.003 is characterised by its straight lugs, symmetrical case and absence of crown guards and the ‘Professional’ sign on the dial. Presented in good condition with an expandable bracelet, this lot provides a great opportunity to acquire a robust watch filled with history.
