ALBINO
40th Anniversary

The Albino also known as the ‘Bianco Italia’ is a Limited Edition of only 500 pieces released only into the Italian market in 1997 to commemorate the 40th Anniversary of the Speedmaster.

Highly sought after due to its low production numbers, it is also the first Speedmaster to use SuperLuminova instead of Tritium and also the first to use Sapphire crystal glass.
