Vintage VDB E23 Historical Bronze diving watch

All about the Vintage VDB E23 Historical Bronze diving watch

Everything about the Vintage VDB E23 Historical Bronze diving watch, which impresses with a dark green dial and a leather and rubber strap.

The E23 Historical Bronze 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 Bronze 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 properties of the E23 Historical Bronze 

The housing finish of the Bronze 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 Bronze is water-resistant to depths of 500 meters, which makes the E23 Historical Bronze particularly suitable due to the unidirectional rotating bezel to take them on at least semi-professional dives. 

The VDB E23 Historical Bronze measures an impressive 46 millimeters in diameter. The length between the lugs is 56 millimeters and the height is 16 millimeters.

Matching the VDB E23 Historical Bronze is the leather strap, which impresses with its special features of the numbers 33 and 17. At that time, diving watches were assigned to specific combat swimmers. The number of these professionals was written on the bracelet.

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 Bronze II 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. "
