Praesidus Desert Field Gray Sand Limited Edition

The Desert Field pays homage to the iconic GG-W-113 design developed by the US-Military for its pilots in 1967. Featuring a 24H inner-ring and absolute legibility of the indexes, the « Field » in Desert Field is pretty self-explanatory.

For this limited edition redesign of our iconic Jungle Field – we’ve taken inspiration from the MERDC & « Chocolate Chip » DBDU camouflage colors were both developed for use in arid & desertic conditions in the 70s & 80s. The « Gray Sand » color palette mainly comes from the MERDC « US Sand » standard color.

The 34mm size of the Desert Field is a reference to the original 1960s US Military watches which used a similar diameter as standard. We’ve worked to keep the overall case thickness under 10mm to further reduce the watch’s presence on the wrist.

We’ve used a TMI VH-31 Meca-Quartz (sweep second) to guarantee reliable & rugged timekeeping while keeping the overall case thickness to a minimum. Combined with 5ATM (50M/163ft) water resistance & a sapphire coated mineral crystal for increased ruggedness in any situation.
