Description
SUMMARY: The D4 Meridian is a historically-inspired 20ATM dive watch, that stands out in the Vaer line-up thanks to its perpetual solar-power movement and accessible sub-$500 price point. As a D4 model, this watch is the solar-powered version of our popular 20ATM professional-grade diver. In our opinion, the solar movement provides the best of both worlds - perpetual timekeeping with incredible accuracy. Six hours of sunlight will provide six months of power reserve, and the watch can run off any light source (even candlelight).
WHO IS THIS WATCH FOR? We recommend the D4 for those seeking a dependable ocean-oriented tool watch that can also be dressed up for more formal occasions. The perpetual timekeeping function of a solar-powered quartz watch makes it the perfect fit for an everyday wearer, and the choice of 38mm and 42mm case sizing provides an option for most men's wrists while also maintaining our commitment to ergonomic, and timeless proportions.
INSPIRATION: In designing the D4 Meridian our goal was to pay homage to the history of military dive watches while also further establishing a distinct and modern Vaer aesthetic. This watch's dial design and bezel are inspired by Rolex and Doxa military divers from the 1970s - and the case is inspired by the military issue Omega Seamaster. The D4 Meridian Solar is further distinguished as one of the first Vaer field watches powered by ambient light - a premium feature that optimizes its use in remote settings and helps deliver on the promise of near-perpetual timekeeping.

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.
