Combining the prestige of European luxury with the everyday utility at the heart of our brand. Our decision to pursue Swiss manufacturing for the A12 was motivated by our goal to create a respectful homage to the Swiss Made \"Dirty Dozen\" military watches of World War II. Functional, attractive and historically relevant, the Vaer Dirty Dozen represents not only a continued investment in timeless, durable design but also our deep respect for the history of horology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLike it's 12 military forbearers, which wore the marking W.W.W. for Waterproof Wrist Watch, the A12 Dirty Dozen is perfectly suited for underwater activity. The caseback and crown use a threaded screw-down design that maintains an airtight seal, making the watch functionally waterproof. Importantly, unlike most ocean-rated watches, our Swiss Made Automatic is also incredibly slim and comfortable on the wrist, boasting a 36mm diamater.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eTo further enhance the value and \"ocean-to-office\" functionality of the watch, every A12 comes standard with two interchangeable straps. Our Vaer strap options include a range of both ocean-ready options designed for water based activities and our premium Horween leather straps which are tanned in Chicago and handmade in the USA from heavy native steer hides.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn addition to Made in USA leather straps, every Vaer A12 is hand-assembled and tested in Switzerland. We’re committed to Swiss Assembly for the A12 model, not only because it improves product quality, but because it adds a strong sense of place and personality to our brand.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMade in Switzerland\u003cbr\u003eDurable 316L Stainless Steel Case\u003cbr\u003eOcean Ready 10 ATM - 100m or 328ft\u003cbr\u003eSwiss Made Sellita SW260-1 Automatic Movement\u003cbr\u003eElabore Grade\u003cbr\u003eLocking Screw-Down Crown w\/ Vaer Engraving\u003cbr\u003eDomed Sapphire Crystal w\/ Internal AR\u003cbr\u003eSapphire Exhibition Caseback with AR\u003cbr\u003eTwo Interchangeable Straps\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCase Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e - 36mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLug Height\u003c\/strong\u003e - 36mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLug Width\u003c\/strong\u003e - 20mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCrown\u003c\/strong\u003e - 3mmx6mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Vaer Watches","offers":[{"title":"FKM Ocean Strap - Black ($40 Value) \/ Single Pass Recon - Olive (+$0)","offer_id":41255029571718,"sku":"A12-DD-FKM20BLK-SPRB20OLV","price":1099.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"FKM Ocean Strap - Black ($40 Value) \/ Premium Steel Bracelet (+100)","offer_id":41320480538758,"sku":"A12-DD-FKM20BLK-BRVSBR36B","price":1199.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"FKM Ocean Strap - Black ($40 Value) \/ Lined Horween Leather - Tan (+$120)","offer_id":41255029637254,"sku":"A12-DD-FKM20BLK-HL20TAN","price":1219.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"FKM Ocean Strap - Black ($40 Value) \/ Nylon - Khaki (+$0)","offer_id":41255029670022,"sku":"A12-DD-FKM20BLK-NY20KHA","price":1099.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"FKM Ocean Strap - Black ($40 Value) \/ Lined Horween Leather - Black (+$120)","offer_id":41255029702790,"sku":"A12-DD-FKM20BLK-HL20BLK","price":1219.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"FKM Ocean Strap - Black ($40 Value) \/ FKM Waffle Strap - Black (+30)","offer_id":41255029735558,"sku":"A12-DD-FKM20BLK-WFL20BLK","price":1129.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1165\/0300\/files\/A12-DD-DD-SP-NY-OLV_0e1fbc76-0661-49b1-94fc-27d7c0976072.png?v=1717013590"},{"product_id":"c5-dirty-dozen-40mm-ameriquartz","title":"C5 Dirty Dozen - 40mm Ameriquartz","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSUMMARY: This is the new Ameriquartz-powered version of our military-inspired A12 Dirty Dozen field watch, which was first introduced into the Vaer lineup in 2019. Why have we transitioned to Ameriquartz? \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eIf you’ve been following Vaer for a few years, you’ll probably recognize the term Ameriquartz. Between 2020 and 2023, we sold over ten thousand Ameriquartz watches across the C3 and C5 lineup. Last year we transitioned the core of our USA-assembled quartz models (ex. C5 Tactical) to solar movements. However, we always intended to keep the option of a USA-built movement alive within the Vaer lineup. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eWe believe the C3\/C5 Dirty Dozen is the perfect design to re-introduce this unique movement option into the Vaer lineup. While it is a quartz watch, and it’s not Swiss, in our opinion, by leveraging hand-built Ameriquartz movements, the C3\/C5 Dirty Dozen represent a continuation of the historical craftsmanship of the original World War II models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eAs a C5 model, this watch is part of our all-time bestselling collection, distinguished by its ocean-ready functionality, low-profile case design, ultra-accurate \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eAmeriquartz movement, and full USA assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWHO IS THIS WATCH FOR?\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e We recommend the C5 for those seeking a dependable tool watch that can also be dressed up for more formal occasions.
