The Vaer C5 is our best-selling watch model, combining best-in-class durability with timeless design and functionality. Representing the purest vision of our brand mission, the C5 is the ultimate utilitarian wristwatch - offering extreme timekeeping accuracy, impressive scratch and water resistance, easy interchangeability, and the distinctive characteristic of full United States assembly.

The C5 model is perfectly suited for underwater activity. The case back 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 USA Custom Built quartz is also incredibly slim and comfortable on the wrist, boasting a 40mm diameter and a sub-10mm thickness, which is rare on watches with a locking crown function.

To further enhance the value and "ocean-to-office" functionality of the watch, every C5 comes standard with two interchangeable bands. Our Vaer band options include a range of both ocean-ready bands 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.

In addition to Made in USA leather straps, every Vaer C5 is hand-assembled and tested in America. US-based sourcing for the C5 line increases our cost of goods nearly 30%. We’re committed to American Assembly for the C5 model, not only because it improves product quality, but because it adds a strong sense of place and personality to our brand.
