The Vaer A3 Tradition Outerknown channels the spirit of adventure and timeless design of the 1950s field watches. Carrying the proportions and design language of a vintage classic, this USA-assembled field watch is infused with modern durability features, making it the ultimate daily wearer for any occasion or environment.

At 36mm in diameter, the A3 captures the charm of mid-century mountaineering watches like the legendary Rolex ref. 5500 and 1016 Explorers. Its 3, 6, 9 dial arrangement and slim, compact profile pay homage to these vintage icons, while modern upgrades—like a sapphire crystal, 10ATM water resistance, and screw-down crown—ensure the A3 is as rugged as it is refined.

• 10ATM Water Resistance: Designed for swimming, snorkeling, and rugged outdoor use.
• Locking Screwdown Crown: Added security against the elements.
• 316L Stainless Steel: A robust and corrosion-resistant case material.
• Single-Domed Sapphire Crystal: Scratch-resistant with an anti-reflective coating for superior clarity.
• Balanced Dimensions: A 36mm case diameter, 43mm lug-to-lug distance, and slim 11.4mm thickness make this watch a natural fit for most wrists.

• Automatic Miyota 9015 Movement: Reliable and precise, with a 42-hour power reserve and a smooth 28,800 bph sweep.
• Assembled in the USA: Every A3 is built to exacting standards, reflecting our commitment to quality and American craftsmanship. 

The A3’s Black Matte Dial features C3 SuperLuminova, meticulously layered 25 times for exceptional low-light visibility. This retro lume design enhances the vintage aesthetic while ensuring functionality that stands up to modern demands.

To complement its classic design, the A3 comes with interchangeable 20mm straps, including an FKM ocean strap, and a single pass nylon military strap. Designed for versatility, these straps fit wrists from 6.3" to 8.5".
