Omega Speedmaster FOIS Ed White Mod

[bananapeanut]

Watch:

Speedmaster Anniversary Series Chronograph 39.7mm First OMEGA in Space, steel on leather strap ref. 311.32.40.30.01.001

Mod:

• FOIS dial was replaced with Broad Arrow dial (so that the Omega logo actually looks like the 1962 version, and the Ed White)
• FOIS handset was replaced with Speedmaster professional handset (to fix the problem of the controversial FOIS hands)

The replacement parts are all 100% original Omega parts.

Result:

A modern straight-lug Speedmaster for a fraction of the price of a modern Ed White.

Condition:

The watch is from 2019 (warranty and pictogram cards included). It keeps excellent time. The case shows typical signs of use, no dings.

Price:

$5,300 (updated AUG 22, 2024)

The watch and I are located in Santa Monica, California

Thanks for looking and OF for the space !

If your looking to buy a new speedy… this is way better and cheaper.

cool piece with great mods and tells a cool story. Plus the punters have no idea it’s not a run of the mill speedy.

Watch people will be like.

A modern straight lug AML with normal hands.

honestly this a a great combo and something Omega should have offered.

So, in 4 years and 4 months I can get it for free ?

Really, someone should grab this before it's withdrawn. If I didn't already have a Speedy Pro and a straight lug Seamaster 300, I would have pulled the trigger by now. Very cool mod with all genuine Omega parts.
