Vintage VDB E23 HISTORICAL BLACK diving watch

All about the Vintage VDB E23 HISTORICAL BLACK diving watch

Everything about the VDB Vintage E23 HISTORICAL BLACK diving watch, which impresses with a black dial and a leather and rubber strap. It doesn't come across as Marzeal-esque as the Historical Steel Version. She also looks good on a suit...

1x immediately available. The last one. As pictured. 

The E23 Historical Black embodies exactly what VDB (the abbreviation stands for the apt name Vintage Daily Beater) is all about: a striking, masculine design >, trimmed for the unmistakable vintage look. Round, in the figurative sense, but somehow with corners and edges. VDB has its roots built into its name. The 'E' stands for Erfurt, where the brand was founded.

The movement of the vintage VDB E23 Historical Black diving watch

When it comes to the movement, VDB does not experiment and chooses no lesser movement than the famous ETA 2824-2. The Swiss automatic movement with the illustrious name has been the top dog in the premium segment for decades. Even if some manufactured movements have now outstripped their power reserve, you can get through the day easily with the 38 hours that the ETA offers. span>

The features of the E23 Historical Steel diving watch

The housing finish of the processed stainless steel makes an excellent impression, feels good and conveys a special value despite (or perhaps because of?) the used look.

As a diving watch, the E23 Historical Black is waterproof to depths of 500 meters, which makes the E23 Historical Black particularly suitable due to the unidirectional rotating bezel to take them on at least semi-professional dives. 

The VDB E23 Historical Black measures an impressive 46 millimeters in diameter. The length between the lugs is 55 millimeters and the height is 18 millimeters.

The vintage leather strap is available to match the VDB E23 Historical Black. If you have a more sporty occasion than everyday office life, you can choose to replace the leather strap with a rubber alternative, which is fortunately included in the scope of delivery and does not have to be purchased separately.

My conclusion:

"I didn't really need any final “proof” as to why the decision to include VDB in my shop was a good and correct one. The VDB E23 Historical Black still delivered it to me. With its exceptional yet timeless design and premium materials, it is a watch that stands out and whose confident look and presence will be remembered. There is no question that the E23 is a well-made watch. "
