All about the Vintage VDB Timer T Historical Steel 1,200m diving watch

Presence & Case

The case of this watch measures 48 × 57 × 20 mm and immediately shows a confident presence on the wrist. The generous dimensions make it a statement piece: it stands out without being intrusive. Made of bronze, the material also gives the watch character and warmth. At first glance, it is clear that this is not an ordinary timepiece, but an instrument with substance that convinces both visually and tactilely.

Material & Patina

Bronze as a material develops an individual patina over time, making each watch unique. The surface reacts to environmental influences and use, causing nuances and shades to continuously change. This living material gives the timepiece a character that grows with every wear, making it a personal companion. The blend of durable metal and natural aging gives the watch depth and personality that is noticeable in everyday life.

Dial & Luminosity

The dial uses Super-LumiNova, making the watch reliably readable even in darkness or low light. The hands and indices are carefully proportioned to provide clear contrasts without disturbing the dial's aesthetic harmony. During the day, the luminous material recedes discreetly; at night, it takes center stage and ensures precise readability. Thus, the design harmoniously combines functionality and style.

Crown & Protection

The screwed crown with crown guard is a functional detail that protects the mechanics from unintended interference and facilitates operation. It increases the watch's robustness and prevents unwanted adjustments while keeping handling intuitive and safe. Combined with the solid case, it creates a feeling of stability and reliability that is especially appreciated during intensive use.

Glass & resistance

Above the dial, a sapphire crystal protects the fine details and ensures lasting clarity. It is scratch-resistant and durable, so the watch retains its optical purity even after intensive use. This glass combines durability with elegance and emphasizes the high quality of the timepiece. The combination of bronze and sapphire crystal creates a harmonious balance of warmth, robustness, and visual precision.

Mechanics & Precision

Inside works the proven ETA 7750, a Swiss-made automatic movement with chronograph function, known for precision and durability. The caliber offers reliable timekeeping, is maintenance-friendly, and has a wide supply of spare parts. For the wearer, this means a mechanical heart that masters everyday life and demanding situations alike. Robustness and accuracy are perfectly combined here.

Straps & Versatility

The watch is delivered with a leather strap and a rubber strap, allowing its character to quickly adapt to different areas of use. The leather strap adds elegance and warmth, while the rubber strap provides comfort and resilience during sporting activities. This flexibility allows the watch to be transformed depending on the occasion or mood without losing its stylistic core.

Overall impression

Overall, this watch conveys a strong overall impression: generous dimensions, lively bronze surface, clear luminous accents, robust sapphire crystal, and a precise chronograph movement come together to form a harmonious and well-thought-out timepiece. It is suitable for anyone who values character, readability, and mechanical substance. The combination of design, material, and technology makes the watch a durable, versatile, and aesthetically convincing companion.

About me

My name is David, I was born in the late 60s in NRW, now live and work in the beautiful Harz Mountains, and have been running this watch shop, among other things, since spring 2022.

Since 2018, I have also been running my watch blog watchdavid.de, which features hundreds of reviews and watch news. Since then, I have taken thousands of professional watch photos for over 100 watch brands. Many photos can be found in my reviews. I am known worldwide for this.

As a result, I naturally had thousands of watches in my hands. And with this shop, I want to bring you closer to watches that have convinced me in many ways.

So come along on a journey full of watches... off the mainstream... and if you have a question, please feel free to ask me anytime via the form, chat, WhatsApp, email or phone.

I am very much looking forward to meeting you.

PS: My hobbies & passions include the internet (first agency already in 1996), Denmark, France's coasts (Brittany, Normandy & Côte d’Azur), hiking, e-MTB, sales (Bachelor of Sales) and photography.

My Achilles' heel includes children's chocolate, good food, sneakers & of course watches... :-)

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!
