At Vaer, we understand the unique challenges that come with building a career in the water - whether that means navigating the open-ocean, working as a fishing guide on remote rivers, or keeping people safe as a coastal lifeguard. From our earliest days, we’ve designed our watches to be the perfect tool for professionals who rely on precision, durability, and performance in aquatic environments.
Here’s why Vaer watches are the top choice for those who make their living on and under the water.
Superior Water-Resistance
Every Vaer watch comes with a guaranteed waterproof warranty, ensuring our timepieces can handle the rigors of the most extreme ocean environments. With water resistance ratings of 10ATM (100m) for our field models and up to 20ATM (200m) for our dive models, all our watches are built to withstand real-world depth exposures. This level of water resistance means our watches can endure the pressures of diving, swimming, and other underwater activities, providing peace of mind for professionals who depend on their watch in critical situations.
Robust Construction
We can be confident in our watches' water resistance due to their high-end construction. All our watches feature screw-down crowns and casebacks, along with high-quality gaskets, which are essential for preventing water ingress and ensuring long-term durability. These components are critical in maintaining the integrity of the watch when submerged, protecting the internal mechanisms from water damage.
We also use scratchproof sapphire crystal in all our watches, which offers superior durability and clarity for the entire life of the watch. Unlike other brands that use cheaper materials such as acrylic that can easily scratch and impair readability, sapphire crystal will remain crystal clear, which is especially important underwater where visibility can be limited. Additionally, our watches are equipped with Super-LumiNova on the hands and markers, ensuring excellent legibility in low-light underwater conditions.
Designed for Practicality
Every Vaer watch comes with an interchangeable rubber strap, making them versatile and comfortable for extended wear in wet conditions. The rubber strap is ideal for water-based activities, offering durability and resistance to the elements. While we do offer an array of other materials, such as made-in-the-USA horween leather bands, we always recommend our rubber straps for aquatic use. That is why every Vaer watch comes standard with a rubber band, along with a second strap of your choice.
We also design our watches with compact sizing, reminiscent of the days back in the 50s and 60s when timepieces were essential tools for professionals, not just another fashion statement. Smaller sizes ensure our watches are unobtrusive yet highly functional, allowing for ease of movement and comfort during demanding tasks.
Adventure-Tested
We are proud to introduce our new “Adventures” page on our website, which is home to long-form stories and documentaries featuring individuals who rely on their Vaer watches in challenging water-based professions. Some of the stories include The Urchin Diver, a Tongan whale guide, and members of the US sailing team, all showcasing the reliability and performance of our watches in demanding environments. These documentaries highlight not only the durability of Vaer watches but also their importance as a trusted tool for professionals in extreme conditions.
