What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Praesidus A-5 UDT

The Praesidus A-5 UDT is noted for its historically inspired design, featuring an oversized crown cap and chain that pays homage to WW2 canteen watches. Reviewers highlight its functional dial with embossed, Super-LumiNova filled numerals and markers for legibility, alongside 200m water resistance and a 38mm brushed stainless steel case. Some owners find the 11.7mm thickness problematic, describing it as disproportionately tall. The watch's ana/digi functionality and connection to special operations forces are also praised. On balance, owners and reviewers appreciate the Praesidus A-5 UDT for its unique historical design elements and functional dial.

Yema Diver

One owner reported a water ingress issue on their Yema Diver the first time it got wet in a lake, despite rinsing and inspecting the watch and bezel. Another owner notes this manual wind Yema Diver has a cool patina but is unlikely to be waterproof or gain value. Overall, owners view the Yema Diver as a fun second watch rather than an investment.

From video reviewers

The Swiss Sellita movement is a notable feature. Reviewers did not reach a consensus on any weaknesses.
