The 24mm wide rado integral watch strap is a thicker leather, with a wrinkled texture on it and white stitching. I like the "mini Panerai" style buckle with the Praesto name engraved on it. In my opinion the strap is a better fit with the two other versions of the Modern Aviator - as it also comes in a black dial or black dial with PVD black case version. For the blue dial, I am considering what other straps might look good with the watch. I am thinking about a blue rubber strap that will match the modern sportiness (and color) of the dial more.Praesto offers the watch as a limited edition of 100 pieces for each style (total of 300 pieces). It comes with a branded cleaning cloth and nice roll pouch. There really isn't much like it out there and I think it is a great first exploit for the designer. I have a feeling that he will be responsible for additional interesting rado integral watch in the future. He will also likely work with Praesto on future watches as the brand matures. Price for this Modern Fliegeruhr is $480, and for the PVD coated version it is $527.Learn more about the Praesto Modern Fliegeruhr or get one here.
With the screw-down caseback and screw-in crown, the case is water resistant to 200 meters and has a sapphire crystal. The fact that the people behind Praseto have been *** watches for others for years shows as the overall execution and finish of the watch is good. It is sometimes common for newer brands to have "refinement" issues, not really here. The rear of the case is more or less flat, which the lugs are curved. It makes for a relatively secure and comfortable fit on the wrist. The crown of the watch has a nice Praesto "P" logo engraved in it.Powering the rado integral watch is a Japanese Miyota 8245 automatic movement that offers hand-winding (not something to take for granted in all Japanese automatic movements).
