Going against the grain somewhat - I quite like all of the suggested dial options - it’s the case I can’t quite get my head around, but I’m not a Smiths aficionado so apologies if I’m missing something.
Very interested to see the prototype though.

I'm not bothered about the date on this design.
The crown where it is is what fundamentally MAKES this design, so damn right, it should be non-negotiable.
Overall, these renderings show this chronograph version of the watch to bring the bullhead style (which was looking very dated and 70s) into the 21st century with aplomb.
If it's a mission timer style, I'll be buying one, without any doubt. Less keen, otherwise, on multi dialled versions that my ageing eyesight can't read. But it seems this is an opportunity to create something amazing.
I’m in the minority in preferring Version A however I reckon the second hand would look awesome in orange on either version.

Any chance of a version B white dial / black subdial version ?

This. Version A VK67.
I am usually drawn to bicompax chronos, but here there seems to be just too much unoccupied real estate on the lower half of the dial with the 6 o'clock dial omitted. I had the same problem with the original PRS-40, much as I love the case and tried to like the watch, I just couldn't come to terms with the sparse dial. THIS however, really looks sharp.
You’re knocking them out of the park lately Eddie!
Cheers!
Good grief I'm all wet!
Thiat tri compax with t he hour dial hits the spot

A PVD version would go down very nice. Limited Edition you said?

With a bit of luck if they've been laid down correctly the quartz will have aged/matured into mechanical movements![]()

I like the first one. I bought the PRS40 auto for my brothers 40th bday. Vey cool tool watch. I would like to see an L in circle on the first one to give it aesthetic balance

For those not used to the forum there are pics of the prototypes in this thread:

Great news!
What version will it be?
Great![]()
Oooh! Now that makes it a tough choice.
Choosing between the Chrono and the auto is going to be a real struggle!
Fab! Tricompax is super kickass!

I like it, but I am not sufficiently patient to queue!
