Praesidus claims that “The A-5 UDT was designed to meet an operational need that has existed ever since men could dive: reliable timekeeping underwater.”
And while dive watches now seem to be one of the most common watch categories… ever- this A-5 UDT has done something other watchmakers seem to struggle with:
Making a tough, functional dive watch with extreme design language… while keeping it incredibly wearable.
You see the capped crown, and the chain, and you may think “russian diver”... but this A-5 isn’t 52mm like that invicta… this is a 38mm watch!
