36mm case on a 6.75 inch wrist
"If you drew a three-way Venn diagram that compared
style, durability, and price, Vaer’s watches would be dead center."

Slim Profile, Epic Durability
The C3 is the 36mm version of our best-selling watch model, combining best-in-class durability with timeless design and functionality. Offering a minimalist retro-sized case, the C3 is the pinnacle of everyday comfort and function. We've kept 20mm lugs, allowing cross-compatibility with all Vaer straps.

Assembly and Movement
The C3 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 C3 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 C3 & C5 quartz is the best set-it-and-forget option for outdoor use.
2x Easy Change Straps
Endless Customization with Additional Straps
The C3 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. All C3 now come standard a comfortable and functional waterproof silicone strap, and your choice of a custom second strap, which will include options such as our USA made Horween Leathers 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.
American Assembly
Our most American watch ever - USA movement & assembly
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 C3 line is currently powered by an FTS Ameriquartz 6130 HT quartz movement
