What to know
Vaer has joined Topo Designs and Worn & Wound for the DS4 Solar Hiker Black, a compact outdoor watch whose dial and bezel favour quick navigation over decorative detail. The black-and-orange colour scheme carries across a dual-scale steel-and-ceramic bezel, while C3 Super-LumiNova supports legibility after dark.
Its 39mm stainless-steel case spans 46mm lug to lug and is rated to 200 metres with a screw-down crown and flat anti-reflective sapphire crystal. Epson’s VS22 solar quartz movement stores roughly six months of power when fully charged. The $379 package includes three straps and a Topo Designs pouch, reinforcing the collaboration’s trail-ready intent.
