Not all collaborations are created equal.
At American Surf Magazine, we love anything American made. Enter American assembled watch company, Vaer, based in LA. Co-founders of Vaer Watches, Reagan Cook and Ryan Torres, love to surf as much as we do. They are also really good at telling time.
We also love anything sustainable. Kelly Slater and John Moore co-founded one of our favorite brands in the sustainability space, Outerknown.
Both brands love to surf. So why not work together? Perfect timing, as you might say.
Vaer & Outerknown Launch A New Solar-Powered Dive Watch Inspired by Pacific Surf Culture
Venice Beach, CA — Vaer is excited to announce the launch of a new D4 Diver, a new timepiece born from an organic collaboration with Outerknown, blending coastal California style with rugged functionality.
Founded in 2016 in Venice Beach by Ryan Torres and Reagan Cook, Vaer has consistently focused on delivering durable, American-assembled watches that suit the active, outdoor lifestyle.
The partnership with Outerknown, a brand known for sustainable surf-inspired fashion, is a natural fit for Vaer. The collaboration began with a shared passion for the ocean and a serendipitous friendship with Outerknown's Creative Director, John Moore, himself a Vaer watch owner. The D4 Outerknown is a culmination of both brands' aesthetics, featuring sea green accents inspired by California's Pacific coast and exclusive Outerknown branding on the watch's crown and caseback.
At its core, the D4 Outerknown is built around Vaer's best-selling solar-powered diver watch architecture. Powered by light and crafted for off-grid adventures, the D4 is virtually maintenance-free, requiring minimal battery changes and providing guaranteed waterproof protection.
Assembled in Los Angeles, the watch incorporates scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, a solar movement, and an American-crafted design that speaks to both performance and craftsmanship.
The D4 Outerknown is now available online at vaerwatches.com and in select Outerknown retail locations.
