This is the new Ameriquartz-powered version of Vaer's military inspired A12 Dirty Dozen field watch, which was first introduced into the Vaer lineup in 2019. Why have they transitioned to Ameriquartz? If you’ve been following Vaer for a few years, you’ll probably recognize the term Ameriquartz. Between 2020 and 2023, they sold over ten thousand Ameriquartz watches across the C3 and C5 lineup. Last year they transitioned the core of their USA-assembled quartz models (ex. C5 Tactical) to solar movements. However, they always intended to keep the option of a USA-built movement alive within the Vaer lineup. They believe the C3/C5 Dirty Dozen is the perfect design to re-introduce this unique movement option into the Vaer lineup. While it is a quartz watch, and it’s not Swiss, in their opinion, by leveraging hand-built Ameriquartz movements, the C3/C5 Dirty Dozen represent a continuation of the historical craftsmanship of the original World War II models.
