Praesidus Watches

Post by AtomicTom » Mon Apr 11, 2022 10:47 am

Guys, have you by chance heard of Praesidus Watches?

Their watches pay tribute not only the A11 watch, but the heroes
who wore them during WWII. Heroes like Platoon Sergeant Tom
Rice, and Vince Speranza of the 101st Airborne Division.

With the A11 Origin having a 40mm bead blasted case, along with
Swiss Ronda 763 beneath things. And the A11 Tom Rice Edition,
and upcoming Vince Speranza Edition Have 38mm, or 42mm bead
blasted stainless steel cases, along with Seiko NH35 for the Tom Rice
Edition. As well as both the NH35, and the, STP1-11 for the Vince
Speranza Edition. On top of that, the watches come with either
black, or white dials with classic hands, numbers, and markers,
plus nice straps also.

Just a few pictures...

Really like these. Very simple face without a bunch of word-crap on the dial. Great choice of hands. Not too small and not too big.

Pretty cool. You sure can't beat the price. However, there's something about a quartz movement in what is supposed to be a vintage military reproduction watch that doesn't seem right to me.
