The DS4 Meridian is a historically-inspired 20ATM dive watch that stands out in the VAER line-up thanks to its perpetual solar-power movement and accessible sub-$500 price point. As a D4 model, this watch is the solar-powered version of their popular 20ATM professional-grade diver. In our opinion, the solar movement 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). Includes both Tropic and Khaki straps. 42mm diameter.

We recommend the D4 for those seeking a dependable ocean-oriented 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 choice of 42mm case sizing provides an option for most men's wrists while also maintaining our commitment to ergonomic, and timeless proportions.
