Design
- Case and Dial
- The watch features a 38 mm stainless steel case equipped with a fixed tachymeter bezel. The exterior configuration follows the standard Speedmaster layout, incorporating a crown and two pump-style pushers on the right side of the case to operate the chronograph functions. The matte black dial serves as the foundation for the chronograph and moonphase displays. It features luminous baton indices and a minute track calibrated to 1/5th of a second. The hands are also luminous, maintaining the design of the Professional series while accommodating the additional complexity of the calendar and moonphase apertures.
