Biography

Known to collectors as the Ed White in reference to the astronaut that wore this reference during the first American spacewalk, it is recognisable by the lack of word "Professional" on the dial giving it a cleaner look but also the lack of crown guards. Powered by the famous caliber 321, the dial of this example has tropical brown hints of color and is furthermore retailed by the Swiss retailer Meister which were established in Zurich in 1881. With a clear and deep Seahorse engraving on the caseback indicating moderate polish, these Ed Whites featuring a retailer signature on the dial are especially rare and sure to please any Omega collector.
