Very similar to the 50’s Deluxe Expedition pattern, minus the sub seconds dial, but with a nod to the Everest’s with the red second hand.
It’s a lovely thing that is

Cute on that strap. Aren't the lugs slimmer than on the 36mm Everest case? Nice.

It does look nice. The problem is that it’ll be manufactured in seven batches and the sales process involves a guy called Ken posting an ad in the back of the Tunbridge Wells parish newsletter. Smiths do have a website but it’s never updated and anyway only works in Netscape Navigator 3, so you won’t hear about how to actually buy this watch save for an obscure Yahoo mailing list of a few hundred enthusiasts, who coincidentally are all also named Ken.

I’ve not been in here much recently, money has been going on guitars and bikes instead. But here is a prototype of the Smiths Everest Expedition, same case as the recent 36mm Smiths Everest, and styled after vintage Smiths De Luxe watches instead of the Rolex 1016. I think it looks astonishingly pretty.
