White Dial / Panda Dial Speedys

Hi all.

Other then the Alaska, has Omega released a speedy pro with a white dial and no applied markers?

Are the only two white/black panda dials released the 35th Apollo 11 and the Mitsukoshi?

Thank you.

As far as I know, the only panda speedies are the 35th anniversary and the Mitsukoshi, the later being much rarer.

There was another variant where the chronometers were stacked to the left side instead of at the bottom like this, but I don't see that around very much and also don't have much info. You'll still find it on Google Images, though :)

I had that model a few years back. Both are very attractive.

Mine has the white dial and black sub dials; does that count?

Both the Apollo 11 35th anniversary and the Mitsukoshi carry the original panda dial and the only difference really being the date written in red on the dial for the apollo 11 limited edition. Both are great but like buddy Kaue said, one is more rare than the other.

Here is my Mitsukoshi(Japan LE):

IMHO, it doesn't get much better than the Mitsukoshi dial if you are looking to get a manual wind Panda Speedy.
