All about the Vintage VDB D22 Bronze new

Everything about the Vintage VDB D22 Bronze, which features a black dial and a rubber strap.

Even though the watches, with their nostalgic and eccentric appearance and exclusive handcrafted production (intentionally so), seem to be out of time: inside, apart from the vintage movements, high-tech is installed. Anyone who thinks that a small Thuringian manufacture cannot keep up with global brands in terms of progress is mistaken. In recent years, VDB has attracted attention through several innovations. The Erfurt-based manufacture invented a special crown protection mechanism. In addition, the watch achieves water resistance of up to 500 meters.

The movement of the Vintage VDB D22 Bronze

Even though VDB incorporates modern technologies into its watches, it relies on nostalgic unique pieces for the movements. Each movement has its own past and is brought back to life in VDB watches. The D22 uses Swiss ETA 2824-2 movements with automatic winding, which are known for their durability and good quality.

The case

The case is made of bronze, is 47 millimeters wide, 52 millimeters long, and an incredible 19 millimeters high! But don't worry, the dimensions of the watch never appear too oversized.

The dial

The dial in VDB watches is characteristic in that it displays only the most important functions unadorned and easy to read. The elegant black, in my opinion, is exactly the right color and perfectly matches the design of the bezel and my strap. Overall, the dial has a maritime look and is vaguely reminiscent of a historical measuring instrument.

FAQs

About David from WATCHDAVID

Behind WATCHDAVID.SHOP, I, David Drilling, stand as a true watch enthusiast, watch photographer, and independent tester. Since 2018, I have been providing honest wear reports on my channels. In my shop, I exclusively sell watches whose quality and history I have personally verified. No anonymous mass-produced goods, but personal expertise.

Shipping & No Import Charges

Shipping within Germany and the EU is completely free for you and fully insured via DHL or FedEx Express. Important for you: There are guaranteed to be no import duties, taxes or hidden fees. The exact delivery time for your model will always be transparently displayed directly above the "Buy" button.

Cancellations & Free Returns

You can easily cancel your purchase within 14 days. Unlike other retailers, I will cover the full cost of your return shipping within the EU. Simply send me a short email to david@watchdavid.com and I will send you your free DHL return label. It doesn't get any more risk-free than that.

Authenticity & Condition of the Watches

I guarantee you 100% that all watches offered are unworn, brand new original goods. In the shop, I strictly differentiate between regular new goods directly from the manufacturer and exclusive photo watches. Photo watches are models that I have used for my videos or photos, or that come from a return. I sell them absolutely honestly as used and significantly reduced – but the full manufacturer's warranty only begins on the day of your purchase!

Warranty & David's "All-Round Carefree Service"

Every watch comes with the full, international manufacturer's warranty (at least 2 years). In the event of a warranty claim, you'll have absolutely no stress: I'll handle all communication with the brand and organize insured round-trip shipping for you. Even after the warranty period expires, I remain your personal point of contact for service inquiries.

Quality Control

Mechanical watches are fascinating masterpieces. Before dispatch, each watch undergoes a thorough optical and mechanical final inspection. Should a problem ever arise despite our secure transport protection, please inform me immediately by email. I will promptly arrange for a quick, uncomplicated replacement.

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.
