Hi, I recall reading about a limited version (1969 pieces) of the Stratos Striking 10th with the Tri-color dial. Then I saw a Stratos Striking 10th nicknamed the Felix B. tribute version which also has the Tri-color dial. I thought they were the same watc... 

Good question. The Limited Edition of 1969 pieces with the 3 colour counters you refer to is not a Stratos, but actually just the El Primero Striking 10th 42mm. This one also came in rose gold with dark grey counters limited to 500 pieces, and also platin...
