"FIND YOUR LIMIT AND START THERE."

60 Click Unidirectional Cerakoted 12 Hour Bezel

The 12-hour unidirectional bezel on the Open Water 38 allows you to track a second time zone effortlessly by rotating the bezel to the current hour difference. This feature ensures accuracy and prevents accidental adjustments, making it highly reliable and convenient for travelers and outdoor enthusiasts.

200m/656ft of Water Resistance

The Open Water 38 is fundamentally a dive watch, offering an impressive 200m of water resistance. It features a screw-down crown that employs a triple gasket piston-like design to keep out water and debris.

Custom Designed 18mm Stainless Steel Bracelet

The Open Water 38 features a custom-designed 18mm stainless steel single screw links feature a media-blasted matte finish and female endlinks. Coupled with the Nodex Micro Adjust System, it is adjustable from 5" to infinity offering a perfect fit for any wrist.

Gaskets

All VERO watches feature a multi-gasket stem and crown/case tube configuration. The case tube has an extended sealing face that maintains contact with the o-ring across the stroke of the setting positions, ensuring the watch remains sealed even when setting the time. The watch case includes an indentation where an o-ring, or gasket, rests. During assembly, the o-ring is coated with a thin layer of silicone grease to create an airtight seal when the case back is tightened down, sitting flush against the case.

Multi Gasket Screw Down Crown with Protective Flanks

Dive watches generally feature crowns that screw down flush to the case. The case tube is specially designed with threads to secure the crown when it is screwed back in after setting the hands. Inside the case tube, silicone gaskets rest beneath the crown head, providing a watertight seal.

Nodex Micro Adjust System

We teamed up with Nodus to create a clasp that simplifies adjusting your watch's fit. With just a button push, you can make 1/2" micro-adjustments, ensuring a comfortable bracelet all year round.

Sapphire Crystal with Internal AR Coating

Having a durable crystal on a dive watch is crucial. In deeper waters, a sapphire crystal remains intact, unlike a mineral glass crystal that can crack or splinter under pressure. Sapphire crystals are naturally anti-reflective and boast a hardness of 9 out of 10 on the Mohs scale, with only diamonds being harder, scoring a perfect 10.

Great looks and quality

I bought the bright yellow Vero Open Water 38 in July. Striking with the color, but very minimalist and really thin case are a unique combo. Bezel has nice click and zero play. Quality bracelet and case. Blasted finish gives it a dark matte surface, that gives distinctive and quite robust look. Only gripe would be the blasted finish can show smudges. Bracelet is pretty comfortable and quick release makes changing straps super easy. Absolutely love the on-the-fly adjustable clasp. Simple design with striking color and black baton hands makes it easy to read. Overall looks and wears awesome. Slick looking diver. Had zero issues. I’m very happy with it.

Also had to mention Vero’s customer service. Unfortunately I made a mistake and had to update info on my order. Communication was great and super quick.

Hi Marcin, Thanks for your review of your new Open Water! We're glad to hear the bracelet is fitting you well and you're utilizing the quick-adjust clasp. That's our favorite feature, especially as summer is coming to an end. Thanks again!

Received watch in broken box and now watch movement has stopped working entirely

I want to downgrade my previous review to one star. I bought this watch recently. The box it came in had entirely fallen apart during delivery. The watch appeared undamaged and I thought I was lucky, however 2 weeks after receiving the watch it has stopped working entirely. It just want stop ticking again after winding. Really disappointed. For the price VERO charges you’d think they would deliver in a sturdy box and a watch that would last longer than 2 weeks. I hope the 10 year warranty covers this

Hi George, we’re sorry to see that you are changing your star rating from four stars down to one. We rarely see packages damaged in transit, even when sent overseas. Especially to the extent that it would damage a watch. We’re anticipating your watch being returned to us and will be diagnosing the issue promptly to be able to get your watch back to you as soon as we can. We Apologize for the inconvenience of having to send it back for repair. But of course, your warranty covers the extent of any repairs and regulation. Thanks for your patience George.

Great gift, nice watch, terrible packaging

Really happy with The Cove. I have it to my girlfriend as a sporty watch birthday present and she loves it. The off white dial and bezel go really well with bracelet or nato straps and it looks great in all lighting conditions. The box it came in was terrible. It had practically fallen apart around the watch, fortunately the watch did not appear to be damaged but I’d think twice again from ordering from VERO given the value of the contents it’s boxes are meant to protect. I think I got lucky the watch came in one piece!

Hi George, thank you so much for your review of the Open Water Cove. We're sorry to hear our packaging was damaged in transit to you. I've forwarded your review to our shipping manager to make sure they know we need to fortifiy the boxes the Open Waters are being sent in. Especially being sent overseas. We hope your girlfriend continues to enjoy her new watch!
