Guaranteed Waterproof Warranty
20ATM 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 the locking 10ATM rating on most of our watch line-up covers 95% of in-water use cases, our Diver models go a step above. At 20ATM this watch will cover all real-world depth exposures, while maintaining a slim and elegant case profile and a comfortable on-wrist experience in all conditions, including over and under a wetsuit.
2x Easy Change Straps Included
Endless Customization with Extra Straps
One of the unique features of DS4 collection is that you get 2 straps with your watch - Our FKM Tropic and Quick Release Nylon Khaki straps. Additionally, all Vaer straps are fully compatible with the DS4 - allowing a huge amount of customization by adding a 3rd or 4th strap. Pairing the watch with our USA made Horween Leathers straps, or our range of ocean-ready nylon and silicone designs help keep the watch feeling new, even with years of everyday use.
Powered by Light
Forget battery changes - the DS4 is powered by the sun
The Vaer DS4 Diver balances the accuracy of quartz with the perpetual power of an automatic. Utilizing a small solar cell hidden beneath the dial, 6 hours of sunlight will keep the watch going for 6 months in darkness. Stuck in the office? Regular exposure to a light source as weak as a fluorescent lamp will also keep the watch going for months on end - that said, we firmly believe this watch is best enjoyed in it's natural environment - the great outdoors.
