    Hi All,

    I saw this posted on IG earlier. Looks like it now has been deleted.

    Anyone know any more information on it? Looks in line with the other racing Speedies.

    Yes, it’s been for ages with a swiss dealer without being actively advertised but most people active in Speedmasters here are aware of it.

    No, I will not call it « prototype » ::stirthepot::

    Will follow this thread but first need a fresh beer and some potato chips ::popcorn::

    “p” is atypical in Speedmaster. Shouldn’t this have a step?

    That's a shame, I like the electric blue with the black face.

    Early oval O is highly suspicious for a a later printed logo

    That 'O' with a professional dial?

    Similar 'uncentered alignment' of the '3 liner' and overall layout/font/spacing as this one...

    (for easier comparison)

    PS : I don't find either particularly appealing.

    From the “once in a Blue Moon” line.
