All about the Vintage VDB G25 BRONZE HISTORICAL

Vintage VDB D22 Bronze Historical – A Tool Watch with History

The Vintage VDB D22 Bronze Historical is an uncompromising dive watch with a massive presence and authentic vintage character. Its "historically used style" case is reminiscent of classic utility watches from past decades, giving each piece a striking, individual appeal.

Only 2 pieces available. Price suggestions welcome.

With its robust construction, high water resistance, and reliable Swiss mechanics, the D22 is aimed at enthusiasts of true tool watches – robust, functional, and uncompromising.

Bronze in a Historical Used Look

The case measures 47 x 52 x 19 mm and is made of bronze in a deliberately historical used style. This design emphasizes the watch's authentic character and ensures that the surface evolves over time. Bronze lives – and with it, the D22 develops its own unique patina.

The screw-down crown contributes to the high stability and water resistance, underscoring the professional claim of this watch.

Functionality for Real Missions

The unidirectional rotating Microclick bezel allows for precise and reliable adjustment – a key feature for a true dive watch.

The dial is protected by a robust sapphire crystal, offering high scratch resistance and durability in everyday use as well as under demanding conditions.

With a water resistance of 500 meters, the D22 Bronze Historical is designed for extreme use and remains reliable even under high pressure.

Swiss Precision – ETA 2824-2

Inside, the proven ETA 2824-2 Swiss Made automatic movement is at work. For decades, this caliber has stood for precision, reliability, and easy maintenance. The combination of massive bronze construction and Swiss mechanics makes the D22 a true tool watch with substance.

Wearing Comfort & Delivery

The watch comes with a rubber strap including a VDB buckle, providing secure hold and high wearing comfort – even during sports activities or underwater.

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.
