Praesidus Montar: Ana-Digi and GMT Models for $275 Each
Praesidus’s Montar Ana-Digi and Montar GMT cost $275 each in the US, offering two different approaches to outdoor timekeeping. Introduced in early November, the collection is available for preorder, with dispatch scheduled for the first week of December 2026. The first production batch comprises 200 watches of each model.
Analog hands above a digital screen
The Ana-Digi combines conventional hands with an independently set LCD. Local time can remain on the hands while the digital display follows another time zone. A stopwatch, alarm, weekday display and hourly chime are controlled by pushers around the case.
The stopwatch can run while the analog display continues showing the time. Luminous hands and markers provide the analog nighttime display; a separate light illuminates the LCD. The rotating bezel carries compass points that can be aligned with a known direction.
Flint pairs cream-colored markers with a tan strap. Graphite, Cinder and Canyon offer other combinations of display accents and fabric colors. Each color accounts for 50 watches in the initial batch.
A lighter case for the GMT
The GMT uses an arrow-tipped additional hand and a rotating 24-hour bezel to indicate a second time zone. Its GMT hand adjusts independently, and a date window sits at three o’clock. Ronda supplies the Swiss quartz movement.
Praesidus uses polycarbonate for this model’s case. Basalt combines a black dial, pale-green details and an olive strap; the other choices are Signal, Dune and Lichen. Both Montar models use sapphire-coated mineral glass and fabric straps, and both carry the brand’s two-year warranty.
