i recently purchased a speedmaster bianco italiano. . .limited edition of 500. i did not realize when i purchased it that it has a transparent caseback. i quite love that about the watch. . .it got me wondering what other Speedmasters have transparent casebacks ?

(sorry the pictures aren't great)

I believe fratello did an article on the early clear backs. The first was the gold ones from 1980 I believe

The new 44.25mm Co-Axial Speedmasters have the glass display back.

I'm not a fan. I'd prefer a lower profile metal back.
