It's hard to believe that it's almost 18 years since the PRS-1 Speedbird was launched. It was an instant success and examples of the PRS-1 now command in excess of the original selling price, when they can be found. To celebrate the 18th anniversary, a limited number of the Speedbird III have been produced with the PRS-1 dial.

Although it quickly sold out, many people stated that they did not buy it because it didn't have a date and so, in 2002, the Speedbird II was launched in both black and ivory dial versions with a date.

2001 - Speedbird PRS-1 introduced - 300 pieces
2002 - Speedbird II PRS-7 introduced - 300 pieces total (black and ivory dials available)
2003 - "Goldbird" introduced - 38 pieces total (3 dial designs available)

The new Speedbird III has been in planning, design and production for three years and is the highest specification of all the Speedbirds with an anti-magnetic rating of 20,000 A/m, superb stainless steel bracelet, tested for negative pressure to 0.4 ATM (to stop the crystal "popping" at altitude) and the crown tube is screwed into the case exactly as found on watches costing many times more.

From 15 January 2019, the Speedbird III PRS-22 is fitted with the Sellita SW200-1 movement.

The Speedbird III is guaranteed for two years, will be supplied fitted with a steel bracelet strap and supplied with a Time Factors watch roll.

The Bracelet screws are not fully tightened to allow for easy first-time adjustment.
After sizing please tighten and we suggest using a removable threadlock such as
Loctite Blue 242 to secure the screws.
