What time is it? Watches and horology

For those of you not on the mailing list

Dear Daniel,

It's been a while since a new model was introduced but there's a lot happening in the next few months.

On Tuesday 16 October 2018, the website will open and the new Smiths Military will be available. The new model will look identical to the old model but it now has a hi-dome sapphire crystal instead of acrylic and the fixed bars have been replaced by shoulderless springbars to allow a greater variety of straps to be fitted. There is also a new Air Ministry version available with vintage white dial and blued hands.

You can see more pictures and details of the Smiths Military here - https://www.timefactors.com/prs29new.htm

This will be followed shortly by the new Smiths Everest PRS-25 which will now also have a hi-dome sapphire crystal and a new adjustable clasp on the bracelet. I expect this to be available from 1 November 2018.

Other watches in the pipeline are:

New Precista PRS-45 chronograph with Seiko movement and beads of rice bracelet with adjustable clasp- expected before Christmas.

Speedbird III now with new adjustable clasp - expected late 2018/early 2019

New Smiths chronograph PRS-32 with Seiko automatic movement, panda dial and reverse panda dial versions - expected early 2019

Smiths PRS-40 with Seiko automatic movement - expected late 2018/early 2019 and quartz chronograph version on the drawing board.

Smiths Everest PRS-35 in 36mm with hi-dome sapphire - expected in time for Christmas
