The Dirty Dozen 1945 (DD-45) by Praesidus Watch Company

Praesidus Watch Company presents a new model inspired by the historic Dirty Dozen, a series of 12 watches commissioned by the British Armed Forces for their soldiers during WW2.

Dressed in a 38mm diameter case in stainless steel, the Praesidus Dirty Dozen is available in three dial versions: Factory Fresh, Tropical and Patina.

Equipped with a screw down crown and double domed sapphire crystal front glass, the watch is water-resistant up to 10 ATM (100m/330ft). The case profile has been extensively worked and it features radial brushed rounded lugs sharpened by a shiny facet-cut.

The Praesidus Dirty Dozen houses the Swiss-Made Landeron L24 automatic movement. It drives two centrally placed hands (hour and minute) and the small seconds function at 6 o’ clock. Equipped with 25 jewels and beating at 28,800 vibrations per hour, it offers a 40 Hour power reserve.

Depending upon the version, the dial features popcorn or flat textured finishing. The indexes and hands are embedded with Super-Luminova pigment for enhancing dial visibility.

DD-45 Dirty Dozen is available with a sand-distressed leather, bonklip or brown leather strap. Each timepiece costs $875. Please visit Praesidus watch online store for more information.
