The name Praesidus has become synonymous with crafting watches that blend horology and history seamlessly. This respect for the past is particularly evident in their recent release commemorating the 82nd D-Day Anniversary. In a riveting homage, this Arizona-based brand brings history right to the wrist of its patrons, with the dials of its A-11 LMUV selection fashioned from the steel of a Willys MB, the standard light military utility vehicle of the United States Army during WWII.
Built by Willys-Overland Motors between 1941 and 1945, the Willys MB was a testament to durability and practicality, serving on every front of WWII. The A-11 LMUV brings a piece of this history to the table, with the steel for its dial coming from a vehicle that was part of the Normandy landings.
