Vintage, modern, caseback photos, macro and case details all celebrating Speedmasters (and others) housing the venerable 321 movement.

I’ll start the thread with a simple caseback shot of the modern Ed White, reference 311.30.40.30.01.001.

EW from '67. Strap width not matching, I am just testing whether the style matches. Thoughts?

I like the strap, definitely a mm wider would be good. An amazing watch like this needs a black and a couple of different browns with the two stitch parts matched in colour to the lume. Artisan straps here in Australia (no affiliation) makes really great quality custom straps that are not too crazy in price; they have a huge bank of stitching colours that you can opt for too and have given me advice in the past. They've been quicker than most other custom strap makers I've used too.

Modern 321...love this piece
The execution of the Ed White in all areas is just perfection. Sure, it's a great deal about the 321, but the clarity of the galvanised dial press and legibility of that dial is near unmatched.

I agree, I am always finding myself just struck by the dial clarity and also the crystal is done just right with the tiny little Omega laser etched into it

Note that the Omega symbol is etched inside the saphire glass, not on the surface.

Can you tell a noticeable difference in color between the Canopus, platinum, and steel?

Oh ya! Remarkable difference in colour, texture and weight.

Here's my contribution, for the record.

Notable features include the "OXG" and "UNADJUSTED" stamps, typical of units destined for export to the USA. The Extract of the Archives indicates this unit was shipped to the United States in September 1967.

The overall package falls somewhere in the FAIR to GOOD range on the Speedmaster 101 condition scale. Note the sharp bevel on the lugs characteristic of the CB case.

Phenomenal watch, I’d say more towards the good than fair, the colour of that lume is excellent. Interesting detail with the unadjusted stamp. What does the OXG stamp mean?

Sublime trio! Which is the favourite from these three?
I would have to say the 321Pt. Although the 321CG has been seeing more wrist time being the newest addition.

Any thoughts on getting the platinum bracelet?

It's hard to justify another 321Pt just for the bracelet. Not sure if Omega will just sell the bracelet, however based on previous enquires, the price would be unjustifiable.

I may try to obtain a Pt Omega clasp for my current leather strap.
