We’re excited to introduce the upgraded Vaer Classic collection. Inspired by contemporary minimalism, this line-up represents our effort to combine rugged durability with a truly timeless design.
The Vaer C5 leverages our best-selling case design, improved lug and crown ergonomics, and a 5 Jewel Swiss Made quartz movement. We’ve also upgraded the lume to BGW9 Superlume for a blue glow in low light.
To further enhance the flexible functionality of the watch, each includes two interchangeable straps of your choice. The leather strap is hand made in the USA of Horween leather.

Our company is strongly committed to supporting craftsmanship and local manufacturing in the United States. Every Vaer watch is hand-assembled and pressure tested in Los Angeles by our team of skilled technicians. The 18 individual components of the Classic Watch include a 316L stainless steel case, a scratchproof sapphire crystal, miniature gaskets and spacers, custom curved springbars and a durable Swiss quartz movement.

Most watches use 3ATM (30 meter) as a base water resistance. Because the rating is at static pressure, you could breach a 3ATM watch while washing your hands. Our goal was to build a watch you could dive with and this meant achieving a 10ATM (100 meter) rating. We achieved this by using an extra-thick sapphire crystal, a rotating caseback, and a threaded screwdown crown. Read more about water resistance ▸
Every Vaer watch comes standard with two interchangeable straps. Our standard strap is made from a dense nylon weave that is comfortable, waterproof, and strong enough to withstand 350 pounds of tension. The strap features 13 laser cut holes, spaced 5mm apart and spanning a range between 155mm and 215mm. We also offer a Horween leather strap, tanned in Chicago and made in the USA.
