Up for sale today is my Praesidus Rec-Spec OG Popcorn. If you haven’t read up on these, they’re quite cool. Bought during the Vietnam war by Special Operations Groups, originally were Seiko’s. These Praesidus recreations are assembled in the US, and use the NH36. This is the popcorn dial variant, which has a cool texture which I tried to capture in the photo. In their own words: “The Rec Spec project initially started when we met with John “Tilt” Stryker Meyer - a former MACV-SOG member that wrote his experience through three separate books. He explained how the unit had to source gear from outside the traditional military procurement channels and this led MACV-SOG to go directly on Vietnamese markets to buy local Seiko watches. This unique procurement explains why the MACV-SOG watches look so different to the more “traditional” US Military watches of the 60s. Initially, they were meant to be sold as dress watches. Turns out - they worked well as field watches for some of the most elite units in Vietnam at the time. The Rec Spec - short for “Reconnaissance Spec” pays a tribute to both the men & equipment that they used as they provided valuable intel behind enemy lines.” CASE MATERIAL : 316L Stainless CASE DIAMETER : 38mm THICKNESS : 11.8 LUGS : 20mm DIAL : Black "Popcorn" with Green/White Superluminous GLASS : K1 Sapphire Coated Mineral Crystal with AR coating WATERPROOF : 5 ATM MOVEMENT: Seiko NH36 Automatic Movement, Day-Date Complication Asking $275 shipped anywhere in the conus.
