You mean any Aero at all, or that specific reference?
It's a 22290 (closely related to 20721 also pictured)

Honestly I think it was HS just trying to market this model to an audience beyond pilots.

I have never, ever seen a black dial aero compax from that era.I know there are examples in SALA's but I am yet to be convinced that they are originals. None of the photographs from archives show a back dial aero ... for me, it is a redial.

That's gorgeous, a bit like the compressor-cased Autavia, in fact, the bezel looks almost identical; most likely just out of interest, where's it going to be listed, and what's the guide price estimate?

I just want to clarify here if that’s okay. Are you saying that you believe all black dial Aeros are incorrect?
