The Speedmaster carries with it an indelible connection to the U.S. space program, through Ed White and Buzz Aldrin, who wore his Reference 145.012-67 when he walked on the Moon. But it was after Ed White’s spacewalk that the Speedmaster became flight-qualified for all manned space missions. Consequently, examples of the Reference 105.003-65—known by collectors as the “Ed White” after the astronaut who wore it—have become hot commodities in the watch collecting community.

The straight lugs and lack of crown guards set this model apart from the more common 'twisted-lug' designs and make for a watch that wears incredibly well.

The Reference 105.003-65’s commands a premium, and this example is a case study in why: with some beautiful patina, a killer movement and historical chops, the Ed White Speedmaster is not to be overlooked.
