Vintage VDB E23 Special Bronze diving watch

The movement of the vintage VDB E23 Special 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 features of the E23 Special Bronze diving watch

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

The VDB E23 Special Bronze 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 Special Bronze. 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:

"There was actually no need for final “proof” as to why the decision to include VDB in my shop was a good and correct one. The VDB E23 Special Bronze 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. "
