Praesidus A-11 Type 44 Patina The A-11 Type 44 by Praesidus is a tribute to the legendary original A-11 watches without attempting to replace the historical timepieces, which remain available in the market, each bearing its own historical significance. Instead, the Type 44 serves as a high-quality, contemporary homage to the legendary originals.
Using a 1944 Waltham as a benchmark, Praesidus imagined the Type 44 with great attention to detail. Unlike the original A-11s, the Type 44 retains a unique feature: the absence of a second-hand counter-balance, reflecting the vintage Waltham’s wear and tear over time, as it had broken off over time.
The Type 44 features a durable stainless steel case and a water resistance of 10 ATM, ensuring greater ruggedness than its predecessors. Its Swiss-made P024 movement guarantees precision and reliability that an 80-year-old original A-11 just cannot match.
For those seeking a wearable, reliable A-11 that captures the essence of American ingenuity and the bravery of its creators, the A-11 Type 44 is the perfect choice. Available in a choice of 32mm and 38mm sizes, it features a dark brown leatehr strap, making it a timeless revival suited for the modern era. Proudly assembled in America, the A-11 Type 44 is a piece of history brought into the 21st century.

Praesidus A-5 UDT: Black Rubber Tropic The A-5 UDT was created to meet the long-standing need for reliable underwater timekeeping. Based on the original USN BUSHIPS design, this rugged dive watch features an oversized crown and solid case. During World War II, it was the only way Underwater Demolition Teams could ensure their watches remained water-resistant during long dives.
At first glance, the A-5 UDT may seem simple, but it’s much more. The deeply embossed indexes and minute track stand out from the matte black dial, enhancing legibility. The brand and the collection name are also embossed and visible under certain conditions without distracting from critical timekeeping. Swiss Super-Luminova ensures legibility for low-light and deep-underwater operations.
Inspired by WW2 USN BUSHIPS designs, the A-5 is “field-tested.” Its oversized crown cap, welded directly onto the case, speaks to its operational origins. The original design has been enhanced to achieve 20ATM (660ft) water resistance with a double-domed sapphire crystal.
To ensure precision and reliability, the A-5 UDT features a Swiss Automatic P024 movement from SOPROD, known for its accuracy and 41-hour power reserve. Anti-magnetic and shockproof, it can withstand harsh conditions, fulfilling its mission as a durable dive watch.

Praesidus DD-45 “Factory Fresh” The DD-45 “Factory Fresh” is a modern interpretation of what a Dirty Dozen watch would have looked like fresh off the production line of any of the twelve manufacturers in 1944-45. It features crisp white Super Luminova indexes and hands paired with a textured black dial, providing the same high legibility as the originals did when they were first delivered from Switzerland during World War II.
Designed as a tribute to the original Dirty Dozen watches commissioned by the British War Office to standardize high-performance field watches for the British Army, the DD-45 surpasses the original specifications, bringing it into the 21st century. Originally designed to be “waterproof,” the DD-45 modernizes these requirements with a 10ATM water resistance rating and a screw-down crown, ensuring it remains secure in wet conditions. The double-domed sapphire crystal offers best-in-class scratch resistance.
Honoring the historical origins of these watches, which were produced by twelve different manufacturers in Switzerland, each version is equipped with the Landeron L24 Swiss-Made movement. This movement features a frequency of 28,800 BHP and includes 25 jewels, providing a smooth second-hand movement and high precision. The DD-45 is made to be robust and reliable, suitable for use in any conditions.

Praesidus DD-45 “Patina” The DD-45 “Patina” represents the culmination of a two-year collaboration with a dial supplier. This dial showcases authentic patina indexes and hands, achieved through a process combining chemical aging and extensive UV light exposure. The outcome is a distinctively unique dial that resembles an original Dirty Dozen watch, as if it has aged naturally over 80 years. It emphasizes the genuine age and wear of the originals, reflecting the rugged use they endured in the hands of military personnel.
The DD-45 is not just a visual tribute but also a modern one to the original Dirty Dozen watches, which were designed for the British War Office to standardize high-performance field watches for the British Army. The DD-45 surpasses the original specifications, bringing the design into the 21st century. Originally intended to be “Waterproof,” the DD-45 now has 10ATM water resistance and a screw-down crown, ensuring durability and safety in wet conditions. Additionally, the double-domed sapphire crystal provides best-in-class scratch resistance.
Respecting the historical origins of the original Dirty Dozen watches, all twelve of which were produced in Switzerland, the DD-45 is powered by the Swiss-made Landeron L24 movement. This movement features 28,800 beats per hour (BPH) and 25 jewels, ensuring a smooth second-hand movement and high precision, ready for use in any condition.

Praesidus DD-45 “Tropical” The DD-45 “Tropical” is the result of two years of development with a dial supplier. This watch features a deep brown dial and patina indexes and hands, designed to mimic a rare aging process. Over the years, exposure to sun and humidity causes black dial paint to transform into a dark brown. This unique “tropicalization” effect on the DD-45 creates a distinct and vintage look, reminiscent of some rare Dirty Dozen watches seen today, 80 years after their initial production.
The DD-45 is not just a visual tribute but also a modern one to the original Dirty Dozen watches, which were designed for the British War Office to standardize high-performance field watches for the British Army.
