Praesidus Service Watch P-42-MB-C

The Watch

Praesidus is celebrated for the exceptional quality, beauty, and durability of its watchmaking creations. Founded in the 20th century, the brand established itself on the international market by crafting modern, timeless, and sophisticated timepieces. Drawing from Swiss craftsmanship, it offers diverse collections spanning classic and vintage styles to satisfy every taste. Today, Praesidus proudly presents the Service Watch P-42-MB-C - a timepiece destined to win you over. Inspired by the A-11 Spec that equipped the US Army throughout World War II on both the Atlantic and Pacific theaters of operation, it features a round case crafted in sandblasted surgical steel. The case measures 42 mm in diameter with a thickness of 12.50 mm, designed to look stunning on men's wrists. The dial is protected by a double-dome sapphire-coated mineral crystal that shields it from daily wear and tear. An anti-reflective treatment ensures optimal legibility of the central indicators. The crown at 3 o'clock handles all function adjustments. Finally, the case back provides a water resistance of 5 ATM.

The Dial

With its retro design and timeless appeal, this round dial is sure to turn heads. Its clean aesthetic seduces at first glance, while the black background is elevated by multicolored indicators for a modern edge. At its center, two hands track the hours and minutes, joined by a seconds hand in matching tones. Hour markers are rendered as Arabic numerals, and the outer ring features a minute track punctuated with Arabic numerals. These markers are coated with a Luminova treatment for legibility even in low-light conditions.

The Movement

This stunning watch is powered by a Japanese-made automatic movement - the Seiko NH35 caliber, renowned for its performance and precision in all conditions. With an oscillation frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour and 24 jewels, it delivers reliable display of hours, minutes, and seconds. The power reserve stands at 41 hours.

The Strap

The strap on this timepiece is crafted from Italian bovine leather. In perfect harmony with the dial, it features a rich brown tone that pairs effortlessly with any outfit. Comfortable and supple, it adds a touch of elegance to your look day or night. Matching topstitching runs along its edges, and the strap fastens with a classic tang buckle. The lug width measures 22 mm.

Water Resistance

With a water resistance of 50 meters, or 5 ATM in watchmaking terms, this timepiece handles everyday splashes without breaking a sweat - but it's not built for prolonged water exposure. You can wear it in the shower occasionally, but to preserve the quality and precision of the movement, our team of watch specialists strongly recommends keeping it away from H2O in the bath, pool, or ocean. Bottom line: no swimming, no diving, and no extended contact with water.
