Vaer C5 Dirty Dozen

Quite possibly the most famous military field watch of all time, the WW2 "Dirty Dozen" is an iconic collection from twelve historic Swiss brands. Compact, legible, and waterproof, it was worn by soldiers in key moments of the European campaign.

Our C5 Dirty Dozen is a true homage, merging classic design with modern tech to create a fitting "13th model." Priced at $299, it combines style and durability with an accurate USA-built FTS Ameriquartz movement, 10ATM water resistance, and rugged capability to withstand even the toughest environments.
