C5 Field Black Solar - 40mm USA

SUMMARY: This is the solar-powered version of our top-selling C5 Field Black. Solar 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). The C5 Field Black is a military-inspired 10ATM watch, that stands out in the Vaer line-up thanks to its classic field watch design and the distinction as being longest selling product (first launched in 2018). As a C5 model, this watch is part of our all-time bestselling collection, distinguished by its ocean-ready functionality, low-profile case design, strong lume, ultra-accurate solar quartz movement, and full USA assembly.

WHO IS THIS WATCH FOR? We recommend the C5 for those seeking a dependable 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 40mm case sizing is large enough to command presence on most men's wrists while still maintaining our commitment to ergonomic, and timeless proportions.

INSPIRATION In designing the C5 Field Black our goal was to deliver the perfect modern field watch, something that was modern, legible, and with a sensible splash of color. This watch was our first-ever field watch - and its continual re-stocks, provide evidence of a winning formula. In many ways, the C5 Field forms the foundation of our tool watch collection and is a great option for someone starting a new collection, or looking to simplify the information on their wrist. The C5 Field 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.

This watch is sized at 40mm in diameter, and measures 48mm from lug to lug, giving it a medium-sized presence on the wrist, and complementing most men's wrists. The 40mm case is our most popular size, and we recommend it for anyone with wrists in the 6.5 inch to 8.5-inch range, or especially if you're someone who likes a bit more presence on their wrist (compared to our ultra-compact 36mm watches).

Built for extended outdoor use, this watch has been designed to be slim, lightweight, and as comfortable as possible, while still maintaining 10ATM water resistance. The watch case measures 10.4mm in height and has a case weight of 64 grams. The entire case is also rounded and ergonomic so it can be worn comfortably during activities like surfing or mountain biking.

This watch comes in a range of interchangeable strap options, and they are designed to fit wrists ranging from 6.4" to 8.5" in diameter - though we do have specialty straps available for those with wrists outside of this range.
