A-5 UDT Abyss Blue Watch

The Watch

Praesidus is renowned for its robust, dependable timepieces inspired by World War II military watches. Each model combines functionality, style, durability, and technical precision - featuring original, charming designs that add a distinguished finishing touch to any look. The brand now presents the A-5 UDT Abyss Blue. This watch features a solid gray round case crafted in stainless steel for lasting resistance. A brushed/polished finish gives it a polished, sharp appearance. The case measures 38 mm in diameter and 12.50 mm in thickness - dimensions designed to sit perfectly on men's wrists. The double-domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on both sides protects the dial's central elements from impact. A protected crown at 3 o'clock allows adjustment of all functions. The screwed case back ensures water resistance of 20 atmospheres. The watch ships in a beautiful presentation box, complete with a dog tag necklace.

The Dial

The dial on this model showcases a striking blue background enhanced by a smoked finish that lends it a refined, mysterious character. The dial perimeter features a minute track with round markers every five minutes, accompanied by Arabic numerals for easy hour reading. At the center, three hands indicate the hours, minutes, and seconds. The two main hands and indices are coated with light blue Superluminova for legibility in the dark. The collection name is displayed at 6 o'clock, while the brand's name appears just below the 12 o'clock index as a signature.

The Movement

This timepiece is powered by a Swiss automatic movement - specifically the Soprod P024 caliber based on the ETA 2824-2, delivering precise analog display. Fitted with 25 jewels to reduce friction, it offers a power reserve of 38 hours and beats at a frequency of 28,800 vph.

The Bracelet

To let you choose the look that suits you best, the brand includes two interchangeable straps with this watch. Both measure 20 mm at the lug width, offering exceptional comfort and versatility for any outfit.

The first is crafted in Tropic rubber with a textured surface and perforations for a sporty feel. Its blue color harmonizes beautifully with the dial, making it perfect for any activity. It fastens with a silver pin buckle.

The second strap is crafted in polished and brushed stainless steel to perfectly match the case. Its rice grain link finish makes it ideal for both formal occasions and everyday wear, secured by an easy-to-use deployant clasp.

Water Resistance

With water resistance of 20 atmospheres - equivalent to 200 meters - this watch earns the title of true dive watch. Our watchmaking experts agree: it handles showers, baths, lap swimming, freediving, and recreational scuba with ease. That said, it is not built for extreme deep-sea diving where pressure could compromise its seal. For professional divers pushing depth records, we recommend models rated 30 ATM and above. Also, keep the crown and pushers locked while in the water to maintain a perfect seal.
