    Apart from the Apollo XI 35th Anniversary limited edition https://www.fratellowatches.com/speedy-tuesday-speedmaster-apollo-xi-35th-anniversary/, do any other modern/vintage Speedmasters feature lume pips for all the hour indices?

    And when I say "pips", I'm referring to the raised round lume dots on the dial for all the hour indices as seen below. Is there a specific name for this lume application?

    I can think of this one off the top of my head. I'm sure there must be others. 111.JPG

    Er....every single one has two pips at the top of the dial.

    Or did I misunderstand the question?

    Don't all Speedmasters have luminous pips (elongated) at the hour marks? My Co-Axial Moonwatch Chronograph does. IMG_2013.JPG
    Edit: Oh, wait. I just saw what the OP is talking about. Those little dots above the regular lume markers. Those I have only seen on the commemorative Speedys.

    And many more with applied indexes will have lume pips.

    I really enjoy these threads as they force me to go scouring my watches looking for the topic. No rounded pips on any of my Omegas. Closest I have in my personal collection is the squarer markers applied next to the gold indexes on my 45th. I hadn't appreciated that little detail before!

    This is DD 145.022, gold-steel Speedmaster Professional produced in a quite short run back in the eighties.
