Incorporating designs elements of military, dive, and field watches, the Vaer C4 Tactical proffers a unique blend of ruggedness and functionality. Inspired by the utilitarian formats outlined in the U.S. Department of Defense Mil-Spec MIL-W-50717, the watch features a distinctive matte-black finish, high-contrast dials, and is specifically engineered to meet the demands of frontline operations.
The C4 Tactical, loosely inspired by the Benrus Type I of the 1970s, is a refreshing departure from just being a black version of an existing model. It showcases a unique case profile, a clear departure from its Benrus predecessors. Despite its field-watch classification, this model’s uni-directional bezel with minute demarcations and 200-meter water resistance makes it well-equipped for diving applications.
Cementing its place as a bastion of horological innovation, luxury watchmaker Gérald Charles introduces the Maestro 2.0 Meteorite Editions. Founded by renowned designer Gérald Genta in 2000, the brand is now steered by CEO Federico Ziviani and is admired for its blend of technical refinement and design acuity. Particularly, the Maestro line which sports the brand’s distinctive case has remained the signature and the core of the brand’s identity.
The new Maestro 2.0 Meteorite series represents the first use of meteorite and the collection’s debut of a small seconds display. The watch’s 39mm x 41mm case comes in both Black and Silver versions, the former featuring a Darkblast-finished steel case and the latter in polished steel. Both models maintain the collection’s signature aesthetic with a rounded octagonal shape, a ‘smile’ at six o’clock, and a water-resistance rating of 100m.
