White dial Speedmasters are somehow very special: the Speedy Pro ref. ST345.0818 "Italy Limited Edition" from 1997
500 pieces made.

Even scarcer: Apollo/Soyuz . . .
. . . also originally destined for Italy.
There's no shortage of Speedmaster rarities, that's for sure!
PS - the pictured A/S was a Phillips auction piece from ~ six years ago.
That is by far my favorite Speedy
I have a slightly earlier, also Italian, LE in the Liberace. Not everyone's cup of tea but I love it!
One more from the files, and my favorite production Speedy to boot . . .
. . . regardless of dial color . . .
. . . the 25th anniversary Apollo 11 chronometers cased in white gold. And to think I could've picked one up way back when for four figures, with the white gold bracelet.
