The Service Watch Black Leather from Praesidus is a modern reimagining of the historic A-11 Spec watch, initially developed in 1942 by the US Military. Known for its simplicity and legibility, the A-11 was the first military watch to feature a sweep second hand and was produced by Elgin, Waltham, and Bulova. This reliable timepiece served US soldiers across both the Atlantic and Pacific theaters during World War II. The updated A-11 Service Watch maintains the original’s legacy of dependability and precision while incorporating modern enhancements for improved accuracy and comfort. The black dial, with its luminous indexes, ensures clear readability even in low-light conditions. The watch is powered by the robust TMI NH35 Automatic Movement, offering a balance of affordability and long-lasting reliability. Available in both 38mm and 42mm case sizes, it guarantees comfort and ease of reading. Assembled in the USA, this watch comes with a brown leather strap, embodying the spirit of the 1940s military specifications.
