Vaer C5 Korean Field Solar connects a vintage dial to modern daily use

Vaer’s C5 Korean Field Solar recalls the appearance of service watches associated with the Korean War through a black dial, warm-toned luminous numerals and a simple minute track. The hands and uncluttered layout keep the historical reference readable at a glance. An engraved outline of the Korean Peninsula gives the closed caseback its own commemorative detail.

Inside the 40mm steel case is an Epson VS22 solar-quartz movement. Vaer specifies American assembly, sapphire glass, a screw-down crown and 100-metre water resistance. The 48mm lug-to-lug dimension and 20mm strap fittings make it a moderately sized field watch with flexible strap choices. This is a modern civilian interpretation of military design, offered here as an existing-model profile.
