Here is Praesidus take on the classic A11 WW2 watch.  I reviewed this watch back in 2023 and its been out for other videos when I compared it next to the Baltany version and then in the video where I took the original 1940s version and restored it on my main channel My Retro Watches.

This Spec 2 version is the direct copy of my Bulova original in design however Praesidus have made it much larger (40mm or 32mm available on their site) to a more modern wrist and added an Ameriquartz movement which is a quartz movement produced in USA, where the watch is also assembled apparently. By comparison the original was a whopping 30mm! 

Overall the watch is good and encapsulates all the aesthetic of the original and with its plain design it is a go anywhere do anything type of watch. 

A11 was originally designed for the US military during WW2 and needed to be practical, durable and reliable and the most important feature was the movement had to hack so they could be all synchronized for missions. 

This one being quartz will of course hack!  Selling because I have the original so there is no point in holding onto this one. 

It is in "as new" condition having only been out of the box for videos and worn for a few days to appraise.  Retail price is $215 Excluding any taxes. I am offering at a substantial discount.

 Offering at a much discounted price of the original which can be viewed here: https://praesidus.com/collections/spec-2-ameriquartz
