PRAESIDUS The PAC-76 (P-38-P76-MB-BLK1) 38mm Men's Military Chronograph Watch

The PAC-76 is a revival of the now by-gone era of military analog chronographs. Its distinct over-sized 12 and 6 indexes are both a legibility choice as well as a 70s esthetic choice; the last decade of mechanical chronograph dominance. Our design pays homage to the bi-compax chronographs used mainly by the USAF & RAF. Back then, pilots would use the chrono function as a calculation tool on the fly for speed, fuel consumption and navigation.

A PILOT BI-COMPAX CHRONOGRAPH: The PAC-76 embodies a rich heritage of bi-compax pilot chronographs, trusted by the RAF before digital watches. Featuring a VK64 Meca-Quartz movement, it offers quartz precision with the classic sweep of a mechanical chronograph.

STREAMLINED AND COMPACT: The PAC-76 features a sleek 38mm asymmetric case made possible by the VK64 MecaQuartz movement. Despite its bi-compax functions, it wears comfortably on the wrist, while the asymmetrical design adds durability.

ENHANCED LEGIBILITY: Varying dial textures ensure visibility, with embossed main indexes and patina lume points for prominence. Debossed sub-dials feature a vinyl texture for contrast.

A 70'S CHRONOGRAPH FOR THE FIELD: A genuine 70s field chronograph blending military precision with iconic 70s flair. With oversized indexes and a distinct PRAESIDUS logo, it embodies vintage pilot chronographs.

RUGGED ELEGANCE: Elevate your look with our Black Leather Strap for PAC-76. Matching the main dial color, it offers a timeless yet functional combination, perfect for any occasion.

Featuring increased the legibility through the use of varying textures, the PAC-76 is a modernized take on the original layout. Both debossed sub-dials have gotten a Vinyl texture while the main dial uses a popcorn texture reducing the risk of confusion when glancing at the watch. With embossed indexes as well, there's plenty of volume to increase legibility.

The Black Leather Strap variation of the PAC-76 is the most classic version; matching the main dial color of the watch-head for a functional yet elegant combo.
