On June 6th, 1944, these vehicles came ashore in Normandy alongside Allied forces, playing a vital role in reconnaissance, logistics, command, and transport operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"515\" data-end=\"936\"\u003eFor this project, we recovered steel from the hood of an original Willys MB and transformed it into watch dials. Through a controlled blasting process, different layers of original paint are gradually revealed, exposing the history embedded in the metal itself. Because every section of the hood aged differently over decades of use, each dial offers its own unique combination of textures, colors, scratches, and patina.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"938\" data-end=\"1144\"\u003eAvailable across five distinct dial variations, every A-11 LMUV represents a different stage in the life of the same historic vehicle. No artificial aging, no printed effect, and no two dials exactly alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1146\" data-end=\"1369\"\u003eBuilt around our modern interpretation of the WWII A-11 field watch, the LMUV Fresh Green combines historic material with contemporary reliability through a sapphire crystal, automatic movement, and robust everyday-wear specifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1371\" data-end=\"1501\"\u003eCreated from a vehicle that helped carry Allied forces across Europe, the A-11 LMUV is not inspired by history, it is made from it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Praesidus","offers":[{"title":"Brown Leather","offer_id":53869216530798,"sku":"P-38-LMUV-A-DBRSG","price":595.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Green Canvas","offer_id":53869216563566,"sku":"P-38-LMUV-A-GRSG","price":595.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0279\/1361\/7511\/files\/brown-versionA_3bf95015-be93-4655-8162-129d03f36937.png?v=1780412216","url":"https:\/\/praesidus.com\/products\/a-11-lmuv-fresh-green","provider":"Praesidus","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
