🧭 A Modern Classic with Vintage DNA

The EFR-S108D-3AV is a prime example of Casio’s Edifice line doing what it does best—blending traditional design with modern engineering. With its flat octagonal bezel, sunburst green dial, and slim profile, it quietly nods to the classic dress watches of the 1970s while keeping its soul firmly in the present.

It’s bold enough to spark conversation, yet refined enough to slip under a cuff—the horological equivalent of a tailored suit with sneakers.

The octagonal bezel has been playfully dubbed the “Stop Sign of Style” by enthusiasts. Why? Because when you see it, you stop—literally and figuratively. It’s the understated design move that says, “Hey, we’re not trying too hard—but we still get it.”

Rediscovering Rugged Precision: The PRAESIDUS A-2 Origin Field Military Watch

CLICK HERE TO HEAR AWESOME PODCAST ABOUT THIS WATCH

“Time may be constant, but how you wear it says everything.”

There’s something timeless about military watches—maybe it’s the rugged reliability, or maybe it’s the feeling that, with the right watch, you could actually survive an apocalypse… or at least your next Monday morning meeting.

Enter the PRAESIDUS A-2 Origin Field Military Watch—a field-ready timepiece designed with purpose, forged with heritage, and perfect for those who appreciate function wrapped in vintage flair. Whether you’re an active-duty soldier, a desk-bound watch collector, or just someone who likes their accessories with a backstory, this one ticks all the boxes.

⚙️ American Spirit, Military Soul

This isn’t just a field watch—it’s a revival of American watchmaking tradition. The PRAESIDUS A-2 Origin takes direct design inspiration from the 1942 US Mil-Spec A-17, a watch built for soldiers who relied on timing as much as tenacity. With hand-assembly and water-testing in the USA, PRAESIDUS brings that same level of precision into the modern era—no boot camp required.

  • 40mm stainless steel case – ideal balance of durability and versatility
  • Swiss Ronda 763 movement – accurate to -10~+20 sec/month
  • High-contrast dial – Luminova-coated hands & indexes for low-light visibility
  • Sapphire-coated K1 crystal – built to survive knocks, drops, and adventures
Awesome Dial

A Legacy Forged in Battle

The A-11 watch, developed in 1942, was a groundbreaking timepiece for the U.S. military. It was the first to feature a sweep second hand, enhancing precision in timekeeping—a critical factor during wartime operations. Produced by esteemed manufacturers like Elgin, Waltham, and Bulova, the A-11 became known as “The Watch That Won the War,” equipping Allied forces across various theaters of World War II.

The PRAESIDUS A-2 Origin draws direct inspiration from this iconic design, embodying the same principles of reliability and clarity that were vital on the battlefield.

History

Anecdotes of Valor: The Men Behind the Watches

The legacy of military watches is deeply intertwined with the stories of the servicemen who wore them. PRAESIDUS has honored this connection by collaborating with veterans to recreate timepieces that reflect their experiences.

Tom Rice: A Paratrooper’s Tale

Tom Rice, a member of the 501st Parachute Infantry Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division, jumped into Normandy on D-Day. During the jump, he lost his cherished watch. Years later, PRAESIDUS worked with Rice to recreate the A-11 watch, bringing his story full circle and preserving a piece of history on the wrist.

Vince Speranza: The Beer Run in Bastogne

Another remarkable story is that of Vince Speranza, also of the 101st Airborne Division. During the Siege of Bastogne in World War II, Speranza famously used his helmet to fetch beer for wounded comrades, embodying the camaraderie and resilience of soldiers during trying times. PRAESIDUS commemorated his service with a special edition watch, celebrating his unique story.

🧭 Built for Field or Office

Just like any good field watch, the A-2 Origin is tough—but not at the expense of style. It’s a versatile daily companion that works with fatigues or flannel. Choose between:

  • A military-style black fabric strap for rugged minimalism
  • A classic leather band for a more polished, civilian-friendly vibe

Whether you’re timing laps, flights, or your third espresso shot of the day—this watch has your back.

🔁 Oh, and strap swaps? Quick release, baby. Because sometimes, tactical means fast.

Case

🛠️ Function That Lasts

While the PRAESIDUS A-2 Origin draws from the past, it’s designed for modern life:

  • 5 ATM water resistance – splash-proof for everyday use
  • Sapphire-coated crystal – a must-have for scratch resistance
  • 2-Year International Warranty – just in case life hits harder than expected

And if you really want to future-proof it, Amazon even offers protection plans—because while the watch is built tough, peace of mind never goes out of style.

Specs

💬 What Watch Enthusiasts Are Saying

This timepiece has generated a mix of reactions in the wild. Some rave about the design, fit, and heritage styling. Others have noted a few quality hiccups—so it’s important to manage expectations.

📈 The average review? 3.5 stars out of 5—not bad for a watch under $200, but it’s always smart to read through both the love letters and the complaints.

Some highlights:

  • “Fantastic, durable, good size and easy to operate.”
  • “Beautiful watch—classic military feel with modern toughness.”
  • “Band too long, and customer service never responded.”

So, if you’re a perfectionist, take note—but if you love a good field watch with soul and story, this is a solid choice.

Watch With Strap

🎯 Is This Watch for You?

Let’s keep it real. The A-2 Origin isn’t competing with your Swiss divers or haute horlogerie. It’s here for the collectors who love a narrative, the enthusiasts who appreciate military precision, and those who just want a watch that looks like it could survive a hike and a bar crawl.

This is for:

✔️ Watch lovers into vintage military designs

✔️ Everyday adventurers (urban or off-grid)

✔️ American craftsmanship supporters

✔️ Anyone who thinks “tool watch” is a personality trait

A Glimpse Into The History of the GMT Watch

The GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) complication was first introduced in the 1950s to assist pilots and international travelers in tracking multiple time zones. Rolex’s GMT-Master, created for Pan-Am pilots, set the standard for dual-time watches. Today, the BOLDR Odyssey Freediver GMT CK1886 carries this legacy forward with a modern twist, integrating high-end materials and innovative engineering.

But what makes the CK1886 stand out in a crowded GMT market? Let’s explore its design, movement, durability, and why it’s a perfect addition to your watch collection.

Design and Craftsmanship: A Blend of Style and Strength

Crafted from 316L stainless steel, the 44mm case has a sleek yet rugged presence on the wrist. Despite its size, the 12.5mm thickness ensures a streamlined fit.

Case

Precision in Motion: The Miyota 9075 GMT Movement

Movement Specs:

✅ 28,800 vph (4 Hz) high-beat movement for accuracy.

✅ 42-hour power reserve ensures uninterrupted performance.
