It is a [military-spec reworked approach](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canadian-air-force) to the signature Speedy model which is developed with a sharp aesthetic. The new Co-Axial Master Chronometer Chronograph model comes with its own rich narrative and it kicked off with leaked images a few months ago. It was seen in a U-2 Dragon Lady reconnaissance plane worn by an American pilot. The model retains the stainless steel case construction but some changes include the [matte brushed finish](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dango-specops-watch), which is a rarity for the Speedmaster series. It nods to the cockpit reflections which is a very important component for pilots.
