Introducing the second generation of the VAER D5 Pacific Anacapa Watch, a refined dive timepiece that builds upon three years of experience in designing and assembling world-class dive watches right here in the USA. Priced at $769, this limited-edition release takes the award-winning D5 USA Diver and elevates it to new heights, with a series of technical and aesthetic upgrades that make it an essential piece for any watch enthusiast’s collection.
At the core of the D5 Pacific Anacapa are all the features that made the original D5 USA Diver such a hit. With 20ATM water resistance, a double-domed sapphire crystal, and a robust case-back, this watch is built to withstand the rigours of deep-sea exploration. It is powered by a slim Miyota 9015 automatic movement, known for its reliability and precision. The watch also includes two interchangeable straps, giving you versatility for both adventures and everyday wear.
This new Pacific design, however, goes above and beyond with a range of enhancements. The D5 Pacific Anacapa features a new multi-layered dial with a roulette 6 o’clock date, adding a playful touch to its utility. The two-toned sapphire crystal 120-click bezel provides a sophisticated aesthetic, while the new coin-edge grip allows for effortless adjustments. To ensure visibility at all times, the watch incorporates a powerful new BGW9 infused lume profile that offers impressive glow in low-light conditions.
In addition to the technical upgrades, the D5 Pacific Anacapa takes a bold step forward in terms of design, introducing a wider range of colours and textures inspired by the oceanic landscape of Channel Islands National Park, off the coast of Ventura, California. The name “Anacapa” is derived from one of the islands within this stunning national park, which is home to one of the richest marine ecosystems in the continental United States. The green, olive, and yellow hues of the watch draw inspiration from the vibrant kelp forests surrounding Anacapa Island, offering a visual reminder of the connection between adventure and the natural world.
The VAER D5 Pacific Anacapa Watch is more than just a dive watch—it’s a celebration of craftsmanship, adventure, and the beauty of the California coast. With its rugged build, thoughtful upgrades, and striking design, the Anacapa is the perfect companion for those who are ready to dive into life’s next adventure. Whether you’re exploring the depths of the ocean or just enjoying a day by the water, this watch is designed to perform with precision and style, ensuring you never miss a moment.
