Omega Speedmaster ST105.003

Worn by Ryan Gosling as Neil Armstrong. Before the Moonwatch, Gosling's Armstrong wears the earlier pre-Professional 105.003 through the Apollo-program training scenes. Worn & Wound states plainly that "the 105.003 is worn by Gosling's Armstrong during his Apollo training at NASA," distinguishing it from the later Moon-mission reference; BAMF Style corroborates the same two-reference casting, noting Omega provided "four distinct models" and that Gosling would "wear on screen both the ST 105.003... and the ST 105.012." The 105.003 is the exact reference NASA flight-qualified in 1965, before the asymmetrical Professional case existed. (Worn & Wound; BAMF Style)

Omega Speedmaster ST105.003

Worn by Jason Clarke as Ed White. thewatchblog.net states that Jason Clarke's Ed White also wears the 105.003 during the same training sequences, alongside Gosling's Armstrong. This on-screen detail rests on that single source; Worn & Wound and BAMF Style independently confirm only that the real Ed White wore a 105.003 over his spacesuit during Gemini 4's spacewalk in June 1965, not that Clarke's screen portrayal is shown wearing one, so the identification is recorded here at Medium confidence pending a clearer frame or a second corroborating source.

Omega Speedmaster ST105.012

Worn by Ryan Gosling as Neil Armstrong. For the Apollo 11 mission itself, Armstrong moves to the asymmetrical-case 105.012, the first Speedmaster to read "Professional" on the dial. Worn & Wound and BAMF Style both describe Omega supplying a period-correct recreation of this reference, worn over the spacesuit on an extended strap, for Gosling's EVA scenes; historically this is the same reference (though not the same individual watch) Buzz Aldrin wore on the lunar surface after Armstrong left his own 105.012 in the lunar module as a backup. BAMF Style separately ties this exact reference to a civilian, steel-bracelet appearance in the post-Gemini-8 NASA meeting scene, distinct from the spacesuit EVA context described above; both may be accurate if the reference recurs across scenes.

Omega CK 2605

Worn by Ryan Gosling as Neil Armstrong. Armstrong's everyday watch in the domestic and early test-pilot scenes, worn where the Speedmaster belongs to training and flight. Omega supplied a period-correct 1954 CK 2605, a steel dress watch with a silver honeycomb dial, small seconds at six, applied rose-gold numerals and dauphine hands on a tan leather strap, standing in for the years before the Moonwatch existed.
