Strap Sizing Guide

Need help choosing your straps?

One of the most rewarding aspects of owning a watch is the opportunity for customize your straps. In addition to adding a unique personality to your timepiece, changing your straps is a great way to increase a watches value and functionality. Here at Vaer, every watch we sell comes with your choice to 2x quick change straps.

In addition to a comfortable Primary Strap made for in-water functionality, we allow you to choose from a wide range of Secondary Straps to suit a variety of functions and styles.

Because different straps have different manufacturing costs your choice of Secondary Strap will be reflected in the watch's final retail cost. All strap options can also be purchased individually if you're interesting in buying a third, or fourth strap.

Note: All Vaer watch straps are sized for 20mm lugs and are cross compatible between models. Vaer bracelets are custom fitted and are NOT cross compatible.

Description

The second generation of the D5 Pacific builds on 3 years of experience designing, and assembling world-class dive watches right here in the USA. Our formula for improvement is straightforward - we've taken an award-winning product and invested in a range of refinements and upgrades for this limited edition release.

In addition to all the core features of our D5 USA Diver, which includes 20ATM water resistance, double domed sapphire crystal, and case-back, a slim Miyota 9015 automatic movement, and 2x interchangeable straps, this new Pacific design delivers 1) a new multi-layered dial with roulette 6 o'clock date 2) a two-toned sapphire crystal 120-click bezel 3) new coin-edge grip and 4) a powerful new BGW9 infused lume profile.

In addition to these technical refinements, the D5 Pacific represents a step forward in terms of Vaer's aesthetic design, by infusing a wider range of color and texture into the lineup.

Following our ongoing theme of oceanic inspiration, the D5 Pacific Malibu draws on the world famous beach city - flashy, star studded, and bright. In 21 miles of coastline, Malibu contains some of the Vaer teams' favorite surf breaks.

Sizing and Fit

This watch is sized at 39mm 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 39mm case is our most popular sized dive option, 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 more low-profile vintage fit (compared to our larger 42mm dive case options).

Built for extended outdoor use, this watch has been designed to be slim, lightweight, and as comfortable as possible, while still maintaining 20ATM water resistance. The watch case measures 11.6mm in height (13.7mm with crystal) and has a case weight of 70.6 grams. The entire case is also rounded and ergonomic so it can be worn comfortably during activities like surfing or diving.

This watch comes in a range of interchangeable strap options, and they are designed to fit wrists ranging from 6.5" to 8.5" in diameter - though we do have specialty straps available for those with wrists outside of this range.

Why we love it

All three of the colorful new D5 Divers stand out from the Vaer lineup thanks to the use of two-toned sapphire-coated bezels, a first for any Vaer watch. Additionally, they’re the first D5 model to implement a 2-layered dial, adding incredible play of light within a stunning, and highly unique dial arrangement.

The Perfect Everyday Watch

Our vision for the perfect everyday diver. Simultaneously traditional and modern, elegant and rugged - this watch is an unrivaled, everyday-wearer, with the specs and credentials to put $3000+ watches to shame.

1. Ocean-Ready

Life is unpredictable. The perfect everyday watch needs to provide peace of mind in all conditions. Whether you're heading out in the rain or taking a jump in the pool, this watch never needs to be left on the sidelines.

2. Scratch Resistant

Impact is inevitable. When it happens, you want to be sure your watch won't scratch. That's why we use premium sapphire crystal to protect our dials (the second hardest material after diamond).

3. Easy Customization

Every day is different. And the easiest way to switch up the look (and functionality) of your watch is to change straps. That's why every Vaer watch ships with 2x quick-change strap options.
