The Perfect Everyday Wristwatch

If you were leaving on a trip around the world, and could only take one watch - this would be it. Durable and elegant, accurate and affordable, the C5 has everything you need, and nothing you don't. Best of all, it's a great conversation starter - thanks to its unique characteristic of full American assembly.

Love the water? The Vaer C5 is perfectly suited for swimming, surfing and diving.

USA

Assembly and Testing

The C5 is assembled and tested in America, and includes a signed certificate from the technician.


Guaranteed Waterproof

10ATM tested with a locking crown

Vaer has always been an ocean-based brand. Headquartered half a mile from the Pacific coastline, we view water resistance not merely as a hypothetical "nice-to-have," but as a functional everyday necessity. While all Vaer watches are guaranteed waterproof, the C5 is particularly well suited to extended ocean adventures, boating trips, and overland backpacking due to the extreme accuracy of quartz powered watches. While the Vaer mechanical A5 and A7 collections offer elevated technical craftsmanship, the C5 quartz is the best set-it-and-forget option for outdoor use.  

2x Easy Change Straps

Endless Customization with Additional Straps

The C5 collection offers a range of customization, not only offering the widest range of dial designs, but also a full lineup of our 20mm interchangeable straps. The C5 Tactical comes standard with our premium FKM Tropic Strap , and your choice of a custom second strap, which will include options such as our USA made Horween Leather straps and a range of ocean-ready nylon designs. To add even more functionality to your watch, you can also bundle a 3rd strap of your choice, from our full range of color combinations.

Assembled in USA

An investment in American craftsmanship

Your daily wristwatch is an incredibly important and personal object, and we think you should have a choice of where it's put together. While we do offer the choice of Swiss and Asian assembly, our core offering is USA assembly by our team of technicians. The C5 line is powered by a Swiss made Ronda quartz movement.

Complete Peace of Mind

Built for the adventures of everyday life

While big name watches have their time and place, for most men wearing $10k around on your wrist is more trouble than it's worth. We built our field watches to serve as a sensible alternative - a watch you can wear with pride based on it's durability, aesthetics as well as a stellar track-record of after-purchase service and support.
