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. The mechanically powered A5 is perfectly suited to extended ocean adventures, boating trips, and if the need arises, extended stays on deserted tropical islands. With no batteries, the Vaer A5 will keep time for decades with proper care.  

Endless Customization with Additional Straps

The A5 collection offers a range of customization, not only offering a wide range of dial designs, but also a full lineup of our 20mm interchangeable straps. All A5 watches 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.

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 A5 line is powered by the ultra-thin Japanese made 9015 movement, which is both reliable and accurate.

25x Layers of Heavy Painted C3 Superluminova

For lume lovers the A5 boasts our strongest lume performance to date, with 25x painted layers of C3 Superluminova compared to the standard 15x layers on other Vaer models. In addition to a powerful glow, the heavy lume paint gives the numerals and indexes a noticeably raised finished.
