Praesidus Spec 2 Ameriquartz - White Patina Leather

Our most creative interpretation of the original A-11 Spec yet, the "White Patina Leather" is a jump into the unknown for us - while still carrying the field watch & vintage aesthetic, the white dial does balance out both for a more "tame" feel.

While the dial design in of itself remains resolutely authentic, the clean white dial base with faux-patina contoured black indexes provides a different experience than our other variants. The funky minute & hour indexes throwback to a time when these watches were literally hand-painted. To add onto that, the volume of the triple printed hour indexes mimics the irregularities that a traditional 1940s paint brush would have left on the dial. 

With such a creative dial, the case serves to firmly ground the watch in its 1940s A-11 Mil-Spec origins. The main case body is sandblasted to remove any shine; as any self-respecting field watch would. However, as a reference to the original shiny Chrome Plating, most A-11s had back in the day, we've opted for shiny lugs. 

The Brown Leather strap adds flexibility to the field aesthetic bringing the entire watch together as an elegant interpretation of what a field watch should be. The leather makes the watch wearable in both a true rugged outfit and when the situation calls for a little more balance.
