All about the Vintage VDB C21 Bronze

Vintage VDB C21 Bronze – Character from a Solid Bronze Case

The Vintage VDB C21 Bronze is an uncompromising tool watch with a striking presence and true vintage character. Its solid bronze case not only gives the watch a powerful appeal but also develops a unique patina over time – making each watch a one-of-a-kind with its own story.

With its generous proportions and robust construction, the C21 Bronze is a timepiece for enthusiasts who appreciate clear lines, honest materials, and mechanical substance.

Solid Bronze Case – 46 x 56 x 16 mm

The case measures 46 x 56 x 16 mm, ensuring an impressive presence on the wrist. Crafted from bronze, the surface changes over time through oxidation, developing a unique, lively patina – a characteristic particularly valued by lovers of mechanical watches.

The screwed-down crown underlines the watch's professional claim and, together with the solid construction, ensures reliable water resistance.

Functional Diver's Bezel & Sapphire Crystal

The unidirectional rotating Microclick bezel allows for precise adjustment and provides a rich, controlled click feel.

The dial is protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, which offers reliable durability even under demanding conditions.

Inside the C21 Bronze, the proven Sellita SW200 automatic movement is at work. This reliable Swiss caliber stands for precise timekeeping and robust everyday suitability. It combines classic mechanics with modern reliability and perfectly matches the functional orientation of the watch.

Water Resistance & Wearing Comfort

With a water resistance of 200 meters, the Vintage VDB C21 Bronze is ideally suited for sports activities and daily use.

The watch comes with a rubber strap including a VDB buckle, which offers optimal grip and high wearing comfort – even during intensive use.

FAQs

About David from WATCHDAVID

My name is David, and I've been deeply involved with watches for many years – not just as a dealer, but primarily as a tester, photographer, and classifier.

Since 2018, I’ve been running WATCHDAVID as an independent watch project featuring reviews, videos, and real-world wearing experiences. Many of the watches you'll find here have been on my own wrist – often for extended periods.

WATCHDAVID.SHOP is intentionally personal. I only sell watches that I genuinely stand behind – no anonymous mass-produced goods, no dropshipping, no "quick trends." Experience, transparency, and honest assessment are paramount to me.

And yes: I am not an anonymous seller. I enjoy good food, sneakers, and photography – and I have a proven weakness for Kinder Chocolate.

If you have any questions or are unsure, feel free to contact me directly. I will respond personally.


Shipping & Insurance

Within Germany and the EU, shipping is free of charge. Shipping is handled by DHL and insured up to €500, €2,500 or €25,000, depending on the watch's value. The watches are therefore always sufficiently insured.

You can find the delivery time in the description and/or below the shopping cart button. Some watches are only produced after an order is placed, while others are brand new and, for example, will only be available in a few weeks (so-called PRE-SALE), etc...

Revocation & Return Shipping

You can revoke your purchase within 14 days of receiving the goods.

I will cover the return shipping costs for you.

IMPORTANT: Do not send the watch back yourself; I will send you the free return label.

To do this, please simply contact me. david@watchdavid.com

It is also important that the watch is unworn and free of any signs of wear. After a successful inspection, I will refund the purchase price to you. The refund will be made using the same payment method you used for the purchase.

Authenticity & Condition of the Watches

I guarantee that all watches I offer are exclusively new, original goods. The watches come directly from the manufacturer and have had no previous owners, unless I explicitly state otherwise (e.g., so-called PHOTO WATCHES).

As an official dealer, I exclusively offer authentic products. These are offered in their original packaging, with a warranty card, etc., just as they are delivered by the dealer. Everything in a so-called Full Set. Some deliver more, some less...

Warranty & Service

All watches purchased from me come with the international manufacturer's warranty, which is usually two years. Some brands even offer a warranty of up to 5 years.

Should a warranty claim arise, I will take care of shipping the watch to the manufacturer or the responsible service center for you and will also organize its return to you. In addition, I will handle all communication with the manufacturer, so you don't have to worry about anything.

Even after the warranty period has expired, I will remain your contact person and support you with service questions or repairs.

No answer received?

You contacted me, via the contact form, about the price proposal, directly by email, chat, but you didn't receive a reply?

Then please check your SPAM folder! Many providers are getting crazier and crazier and are sending more and more to spam.

I usually answer every inquiry within 24 hours at the latest. On weekends, it may take a little longer. As a rule, I reply within a few minutes or hours.

Something can also slip through for me. Or the technology isn't working as it should. Feel free to contact me again. david@watchdavid.com

Mechanics - Sometimes things can go wrong

Before I ship your order, I carefully inspect each watch for visible defects.

However, should a problem arise, such as a defect during transit, please inform me immediately. I will do everything in my power to find a quick solution and ensure your satisfaction.

My goal is to offer you not only high-quality products but also a first-class shopping experience. I look forward to welcoming you as a satisfied customer!

Further questions? About the watch? Anything else?

Feel free to ask me anything at any time. Just send me a message. I'll get back to you as soon as possible. NOT a chatbot, other person, or AI.
