    Hi all,
    I'd like to purchase a modern Speedmaster Professional moon watch, but I don't like the various commemorative inscriptions on the case back, just want the simple Hippocampus original logo. Which model should I choose? As you can tell, I'm not an aficionado, so be gentle. :) Thanks!

    I was thinking of the back like this, or similar.
    And I'd prefer a steel bracelet vs. leather or textile band.[​IMG]

    No current model has that plain a back. You may be able to find a service back or original 321 back which could be swapped in but otherwise the nearest you will get is the 2017 Trilogy Speedmaster, pictured below:

    Options:
    Buy a modern Speedmaster with hesalite and put a 1960s Hippocampus service caseback on it... ( will probably fit ? )
    Or go for the 1994 " 25 years Apollo 11 " Speedmaster which has a display caseback so You can see the 861 movement inside...
