A very rare Black/Red racing dial speedmaster, with the more interesting “Professional” dial.

The reason I call it more interesting is that the dial is unique as the subdials are smaller than the standard 145.012, and also the Non-Professional version, which uses a standard size plate. So this dial plate is unique to the Black Racing Professional, adding to the rarity. There is no other speedmaster dial with these smaller subdials and smaller subdial hands.

The Black Racing Dial is known in up to 20 examples, perhaps 10 of the Professional and 10 of the Non-Professional, a recent example of which just sold at auction for over $212,000, details here
