The movements are due to be delivered this month and I expect both the 29A and Air Ministry to be available in February/March.

With so many watches on the roadmap, is the the Smith Military -the regular, not the AM- going to make a comeback anytime soon?

Whole chunks of my life come under the heading "it seemed like a good idea at the time".
Thanks for the info Eddie. I would say that the popularity of these 2 went way up after a few really great youtube reviews from Tim at Caseback watches and IDGuy, both of which were fantastic as were their review of the Navigator prototypes. I had the PRS-29a but always had a hard time gripping the crown when winding so I let it go and was wondering if the crown on the Navigator is easier to grip. It does look in the pictures and reviews to be a little larger making winding better but pictures can be deceiving. Thanks Eddie for all your hard work.
That's fantastic news - I've been longingly eyeing the the 29A for a while. Fingers on buzzers at 2.00pm, some time in the new year, then.......!
Any improvements planned for the PRS29A apart from the movement, like to the dial or hands?
I bought both versions of the PRS 29 when they were released and initially focused on the AM version. However having put the A on a canvas NATO it has become one of my favorite watches.
Most watches fall in and out of favor but not this one and it is one of the very very few watches that, to my eyes and taste, is perfect in shape, form and balance.
It is a top watch. Here’’ is mine with the fixed bars and it is still one of my favourites.
This is great news, I missed out on grabbing one of the last few available recently
It’s one of the few watches that I think belongs on a NATO....

Some comparison shots in this thread:

I have owned both. The sapphire version feels more substantial and of a higher quality, but I think the MK1 is closer to an original W10 in feel (which is why I only have a MK1 now).

I think this might be my favourite watch!

There are two A. An acrylic and a sapphire.
THIN is the new BLACK
Fixed bars + plexi, the first one years ago was the real deal (bought one).
The new one aims to please more people.
Next one will have a date surely
But how good would an acrylic 29A ‘Mk2’ be, especially with a bigger crown and the larger handset from the sapphire model... maybe even with a bit of ‘fake’ lume, divisive as that is.
I can’t believe it wouldn’t sell... plexi 29As go quickly on SC and elsewhere, do they not?
Please Eddie!
Reviving an old thread but with the same question in March 2022- is the PRS29A likely to return soon?
