Is there a white dial Speedmaster Pro with display case back?

Whippet79 · Jun 25, 2019

I've been looking at the speedy pro for a while however my brother has the moonwatch so I'd like something slightly different. I'm thinking of getting one with a white dial but are there any with a display caseback? I love to be able to see the movements of mechanical watches.

Not that I know of with the 1863 movement. You could add an aftermarket caseback to an 1861 model. Or dial swap a sapphire sandwich. There are white dials with factory display backs with other movements though. This uses the 3313.

Your best bet may be a classic Mitsukoshi mod on a 3572.50 ref which gives you the hessalite crystal and sapphire display back with 1863 movement. I just looked up some prices online and you are in the 4250-4500 USD range to go this route, though you can save with patience.

The Albino came with a display back, there are not slot of them so they are pricey, mod is a good suggestion

That's a lovely looking thing, could be tempted but I'd have to see how it looks on the wrist. Not really considered the autos.
Modifying sounds a little scary but I guess something to look into.

that's a good shout, price range is doable but finding one might be an issue exp given that I'm in the UK

You could easily add a display back to this one

Yup the rare Italian albino i think is the only factory white dial pro with a display back.... cheaper to mod one!

There are some non display back options and a aftermarket display back is easy to source.
