help Vaer D5 Arctic FAQ

The Vaer D5 Arctic is powered by a precise Swiss quartz movement rather than an automatic mechanical movement. Vaer chose this movement to ensure rugged reliability and extreme accuracy for field use without the need for frequent winding.
Can I actually swim and dive with the Vaer D5 Arctic?
Yes, the Vaer D5 Arctic features a robust 200-meter water resistance rating, making it highly capable for swimming, snorkeling, and professional marine activity. It is also equipped with a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal to withstand harsh environments.
What size is the Vaer D5 Arctic case?
The D5 Arctic features a 37.5mm case diameter, which is a classic field watch size that fits comfortably on almost any wrist. This slightly smaller footprint ensures the watch easily slides under a jacket or uniform cuff.
Does the Vaer D5 Arctic have good low-light visibility?
Yes, the watch uses Swiss Super-LumiNova on its hands and hour markers for enhanced visibility in low-light conditions. This afterglow technology is a major upgrade over standard luminescent paint and is essential for a proper military-style field watch.
