Dirty Dozen 45 "Tropical" P-38-MBRV-DBRSG Watch

The Watch

Praesidus crafts timepieces built for true watch enthusiasts - pieces defined by creative design, unwavering reliability, and a distinctive silhouette. Clean lines, sophisticated detailing, and a minimalist spirit make each one as versatile as it is elegant, ready for any style or occasion. The Dirty Dozen 45 "Tropical" P-38-MBRV-DBRSG watch is a perfect example of this captivating vision. It pays tribute to the legendary "Dirty Dozen" series commissioned by the British War Office during World War II for its soldiers. The watch features a round case measuring 45 mm in length and 38 mm in diameter, with a thickness of 11.80 mm. Silver-toned, the case is crafted from brushed and polished stainless steel, making it both exceptionally sturdy and refined. It is topped by a double-dome sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective treatment, protecting the dial from shocks while ensuring effortless legibility. To set the various indicators, you'll find a grey screw-down crown at 3 o'clock - its knurled texture providing a secure grip. Finally, this timepiece features a water resistance of 10 ATM ensured by its case back.

The Dial

This tropical dial takes a round form with a refined look that elevates the watch beautifully. It sports an attractive brown base enhanced by a sandblasted finish that gives it its distinctive aged look. Thoughtfully laid out for precise timekeeping, its outer ring features a minute track alternating with geometric indices and Arabic numerals marking the hours. Rose-toned, these markers are swept by the two central hands - a long hand for the minutes and a short hand for the hours. Grey in color, they are treated with SuperLuminova - also applied to the hour indices - ensuring optimal legibility whenever you need it. They are joined by an additional sub-dial at 6 o'clock that tracks the small seconds. To finish, the brand adds its name beneath the 12 o'clock index as its signature.

The Movement

This watch is powered by a Landeron L24 automatic movement. Swiss-made, this caliber delivers excellent vibration resistance and precise hand tracking. It features 25 jewels and oscillates at a frequency of 28,800 Alt/h, offering a power reserve of 40 hours.

The Strap

This strap hugs your wrist with effortless softness and elegance. In a warm brown tone, it pairs with any outfit to add a polished touch. Crafted from bovine leather, it offers undeniable suppleness and durability. Lightweight and comfortable, it's a pleasure to wear all day long. It fastens with a pin buckle for a custom fit and features a lug width of 20 mm.

Water Resistance

With a water resistance of 100 meters - 10 ATM in proper watchmaking terms - this proud-looking timepiece handles both black-tie events and aquatic adventures with equal ease. Feel free to wear it in the shower, the bath, or the pool (even during an intense swim session!). One important note from our watchmaking experts: this model is absolutely not designed for scuba diving - whether freediving or with tanks - or for use with high-pressure washers. Remember: shower, bath, and swimming only, and never operate the pushers or crown while underwater!
