Very nice dial.
But I think I need a clue... CERN=where there is the LHC?...

Yes, that's the CERN.. ok, another hint: it's probably a liiiiitle far-fetched ;-)

Something linked with the speed(y) of light? Or with light reflection on this nice dial?... 🤨

I will call it the CERN Speedmaster. Can anyone guess why?

Love the look of this mod! Possibly CERN = something to do with the decimal bezel? Wait, is LHC 100km in circumference?

yeah ok, I might be too far out...
Speedy pro are used for space exploration.
So combining that with a decimal/science bezel + the light, almost laboratory-clean, dial, it just spelled CERN to me

okayyyyyyy... was not "too" far away so... 😀 Congrats, yours is really lovely.
Anyway, white dials have a very special light on speedies... and I really like it... maybe the famous japonese one in first place...

Light dial + science bezel = science with particles at lightspeed 😁
Like I said: I was far fetched, sorry
