Why do service members love our watches?
1) Made for the Water
"This is my second Vaer. I have the S5 field watch also which I love. Being retired military and a combat veteran I've used a lot of "so called tactical" watches. Vaer's really are and the mean it. My DS4 served to only enhance my opinion of these well made watches. I am very satisfied and look forward to my next Vaer one day. Thank you."

2) Elite Specs
"I am very old school and I love this watch. In 1980 I was a Navy SEAL and I was issued a Tudor 7016 dive watch. The Vaer Diver is actually what this watch was and more. I actually like the hands better. The Sapphire Crystal is a great improvement over the Tudor plastic crystal. And the ceramic bezel is beautiful. I have been looking for someone to make this watch for years. The weight feels great."

3) American Sourcing
"Sturdy and reliable watch. Am in the military and have worn it during training, jumping out of airplanes, etc. The watch holds time perfectly within described parameters and isn't fazed by being outdoors. The few times I thought for sure I scratched it the watch is still spotless. This will be the first of many Vaer watches for me."

Classic Military Watches
Vaer watches are rooted in the legacy of history’s most iconic military timepieces—watches that were built to endure the frontlines, navigate the seas, and withstand the toughest conditions. From classic field watches designed for precision in the trenches to dive watches trusted by naval forces, we draw inspiration from designs that have proven themselves in service.
Classic Combat Divers
Our dive watches pay homage to the golden age of military diving, a time when precision and rugged dependability were paramount. Our designs draw from the classic dive watches of the 1960s and 70s—timepieces that accompanied elite military units on underwater missions, blending durability with a sleek, functional style. We’ve retained the essential elements of these historic models, like high-contrast dials, robust bezels, and legible hour markers, while updating them with modern materials, such as scratch-resistant sapphire crystal.
