All about the Vintage VDB C21 Bronze Historical diving watch

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 genuine vintage character. Its solid bronze case not only gives the watch a powerful aura but also develops an individual patina over time – making each watch a unique piece with its own story.

Price proposal gladly provided.

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

Solid bronze case – 46 x 56 x 16 mm

The case measures 46 x 56 x 16 mm and provides an impressive presence on the wrist. Made of bronze, the surface changes over time due to oxidation and develops an individual, lively patina – a feature especially appreciated by lovers of mechanical watches.

The screw-down crown emphasizes the professional claim of the watch and, together with the solid construction, ensures reliable water resistance.

Functional diver’s bezel & sapphire crystal

The unidirectional microclick bezel allows precise adjustment and conveys a solid, controlled click feeling.

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

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

FAQs

About David from WATCHDAVID

My name is David and I have been deeply involved with watches for many years – not only as a dealer but especially as a tester, photographer, and classifier.

Since 2018, I have been running WATCHDAVID as an independent watch project with reviews, videos, and genuine wearing experiences. Many of the watches you find here I have worn myself – often for extended periods.

WATCHDAVID.SHOP is deliberately kept personal. I only sell watches that I truly stand behind – no anonymous mass products, no dropshipping, no “quick trends.” Experience, transparency, and honest assessment are my priorities.

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

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


Shipping & Insurance

Within Germany and the EU, I ship free of charge. Shipping is done via DHL and insured up to 500€, 2,500€, or 25,000€, depending on the watch value. The watches are thus always sufficiently insured.

The delivery time can be found in the description and/or under the shopping cart button. Some watches are only produced after ordering, others are brand new and, for example, only available in a few weeks (so-called PRE-SALE), etc...

Cancellation & Return Shipping

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

I will cover the costs for the return shipping for you.

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

Please simply contact me for this. david@watchdavid.com

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

Authenticity & Condition of the Watches

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

As an official dealer, I offer you exclusively authentic products. These are offered in the original packaging, with warranty card, etc., just as they are delivered by the dealer. Everything in the so-called full set. One delivers more, another less...

Warranty & Service

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

If a warranty case occurs, I will take care of the shipping to the manufacturer or the responsible service center for you and also organize the return shipment to you. In addition, I handle all communication with the manufacturer so that you don't have to worry about anything.

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

No response received?

You wrote to me via the contact form, through the price proposal, directly by email, chat, but you haven't received a reply?

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

I usually answer every inquiry within 24 hours at the latest. On weekends, it can sometimes take a bit longer. As a rule, I respond within a few minutes or hours.

Something can slip past me sometimes too. Or the technology doesn't work as it should. Feel free to write to me again at david@watchdavid.com

Mechanics - Sometimes things can happen there too

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

If a problem should occur, such as damage during transport, please inform me immediately. I will do everything possible to quickly find a solution and ensure that you are satisfied.

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!
