Description:
A very rare OMEGA SPEEDMASTER from estate and private property we offer here. Only 3 years from 1963 - 1966 in production, the 105 003 was the last Speedmaster with straight lugs and no flank protection. The watch is powered by the superior OMEGA CAL. 321 ratchet wheel caliber and protected by the original soft iron cap. This watch is not a safe-queen, it bears correct and distinct age patina, but this just makes it a beauty, a beauty that has all the original features: original crown with 7 mm diameter, the orig. Pusher caps, the dot over 90 bezel in faded u.sw. A Speedmaster in the rarest original form in very nice original patina!
