A5 Tactical Field - 40mm USA Auto

SUMMARY The A5 Tactical Field is a military-inspired 10ATM watch, that stands out in the Vaer line-up thanks to its "blacked-out" aesthetic and extremely impressive lume paint performance. As a A5 model, this watch is part of our automatic field collection, distinguished by its ocean-ready functionality, low-profile case design, ultra-slim self-winding movement, and full USA assembly.

WHO IS THIS WATCH FOR? We recommend the A5 for those seeking a premium automatic tool watch that can also be dressed up for more formal occasions. The timeless nature of mechanical movements makes it the perfect fit for an everyday wearer, and the 40mm case sizing is large enough to command presence on most men's wrists while still maintaining our commitment to ergonomic, and timeless proportions.

INSPIRATION The A5 Tactical is the automatic version of the C5 Tactical. In designing that watch, our goal was to pay homage to military history while also further establishing a distinct and modern Vaer aesthetic. This watch's dial design is inspired by the A-11 field watch worn by American servicemen in World War II - and features prominent Arabic numerals for the hours, as well as subtle 24-hour, and 60-minute markings on the inner and outer dial. The A5 Tactical is further distinguished as one of the first Vaer model to use a black PVD case finish and the first to use green-tinted C3 lume paint - the feature that helps it achieve such an incredible night-time glow.

This watch is sized at 40mm in diameter, and measures 48mm from lug to lug, giving it a medium-sized presence on the wrist, and complementing most men's wrists. The 40mm case is our most popular size, and we recommend it for anyone with wrists in the 6.5 inch to 8.5-inch range, or especially if you're someone who likes a bit more presence on their wrist (compared to our ultra-compact 36mm watches).

Built for extended outdoor use, this watch has been designed to be slim, lightweight, and as comfortable as possible, while still maintaining 10ATM water resistance. The watch case measures 10.4mm in height and has a case weight of 74 grams. The entire case is also rounded and ergonomic so it can be worn comfortably during activities like surfing or mountain biking.

This watch comes in a range of interchangeable strap options, and they are designed to fit wrists ranging from 6.4" to 8.5" in diameter - though we do have specialty straps available for those with wrists outside of this range.
