A-11 Type 44 Bespoke Handpainted Dial

The Praesidus x National Medal of Honor Museum A11 Type 44 marks the beginning of our Bespoke Handpainted Dial Program, a new initiative where collectors can commission custom-painted dials that reflect their personal story, service, or heritage. This Museum Edition stands as the first example, a tribute crafted not for sale, but for legacy. Developed in collaboration with the National Medal of Honor Museum in Arlington, Texas, this special edition celebrates the timeless values of valor, integrity, and service. Built on our A11 Type 44 platform, it features a stainless steel case, Swiss-made Landeron L21 movement, and 10 ATM water resistance, delivering rugged reliability that honors its 1940s roots. Each dial is hand-painted by artisans and features a composition rich in symbolism: Minerva, the Roman goddess of wisdom and warfare The American Bald Eagle, representing strength, freedom, and national pride A light blue toga, referencing the Medal of Honor ribbon Olive branches, symbolizing peace through sacrifice Limited to just five uniquely hand-painted pieces, this edition carries a public MSRP of $1,500. None will be made available for sale. All five watches have been donated by Praesidus Watch Co. to the National Medal of Honor Museum to support their mission of honoring America’s heroes. These timepieces will be featured as raffle items during the Museum’s November Gala, serving as both art and tribute to the spirit of those who have served with distinction. This is craftsmanship in service of legacy. Crafted with reverence. Built with purpose. Dedicated to those who embody honor itself. American Assembled, as always.
