Speedmaster modding is something that’s becoming increasingly popular amongst Speedmaster aficionado’s. Creating your own ‘limited edition’ can be a joyful thing, and with the easy access to parts -compared to for example Rolex-, and many certified and knowleagable watchmakers, it is not something that is only for those with good connections in the trade.

We are working on two projects – a Speedmaster Professional with a Racing Japan dial, with its design based on the Mark II Racing, and one with a Mitsukoshi ‘Panda’ dial. Both will be based on the classic 3570.50.00 – the perfect base to start your own custom project.

Of course both will be fitted with the matching hand sets – we’ll try to take a pic of those very soon. Note that the Mitsukoshi dial seems a bit off balanced due to the angle of the pic.. But the end result will follow soon!
