A-5 UDT Blue Sunray Watch

The Watch

Praesidus is a watch brand inspired by the rugged, functional military timepieces of World War II. Founded by watch and history enthusiasts, it blends vintage designs with contemporary engineering. The materials used in crafting these watches are of the highest quality, ensuring exceptional durability. These timepieces will elevate your everyday look and complement your personal style. That's exactly what the Blue Sunray watch from the A-5 UDT collection delivers. It features a solid round gray case crafted in stainless steel with a stunning brushed/polished finish that gives it a refined appearance. With a 38 mm diameter and 12.50 mm thickness, it sits perfectly on men's wrists seeking a polished, elegant look. The case is protected by a double-domed sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating on both sides, shielding it from daily shocks and wear. A crown fitted with a crown protector sits at 3 o'clock for easy adjustment of the watch's functions. Finally, the screw-down caseback provides a water resistance of 20 atmospheres, making this watch a reliable companion for all your everyday activities. It will be shipped in a beautiful case complete with a dog tag necklace.

The Dial

This dial features a rich midnight blue background with a matte finish for a striking look. Its perimeter is adorned with a minute track displaying round markers every five minutes, followed by Arabic numerals for precise hour reading. The two sword hands at the center display the hours and minutes, and - along with the indices - feature a light blue SuperLuminova treatment for clear timekeeping in the dark. They are accompanied by a slender seconds hand. At 6 o'clock you'll find the collection name, and at 12 o'clock the brand name serves as a signature.

The Movement

This watch is powered by a Swiss automatic movement - specifically the Soprod P024 caliber based on the ETA 2824-2, delivering precise analog display. It features 25 jewels to minimize friction, a 38-hour power reserve, and oscillates at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour.

The Strap

This stunning dive watch comes with your choice of two straps. Both measure 20 mm in lug width, ensuring a comfortable fit that perfectly complements the overall look of the watch and pairs effortlessly with any outfit.

The first strap is made from blue Tropic rubber and features a crosshatch pattern along with perforations that let your wrist breathe. It fastens to your wrist with a silver pin buckle.

The second strap is crafted in stainless steel with a rice link finish, built to stand the test of time. Featuring both polished and brushed finishes, it secures to your wrist with a deployment clasp.

Water Resistance

This model offers a water resistance of 20 atmospheres, or 200 meters - making it a true companion for deep-water activities. Designed for freediving, it handles high-pressure washers without breaking a sweat. Showering, bathing, swimming, and freediving are all fair game. That said, for scuba diving with tanks, we recommend a timepiece with a higher water resistance rating. Always avoid operating the crown or pushers while submerged to protect the movement's integrity.
