VintageVDB IV Red EAGLE

By TLex Here's the latest masterpiece to hail from the maverick watchmaking ateliers of Vintage-VDB. The Erfurt, Germany based watchmakers have garnered a reputation for producing high-quality handmade wristwatches with their own unique style of branding. 

Their creations are typically: rugged vintage-mil. styled watches with a charming handcrafted utilitarian atheistic that are powered by vintage mechanical calibers.



The Red Eagle boasts a handmade bronze case, based on the VDB IV. It measures 46mm in diameter with a lug to lug measurement of 56mm and a thickness of 19mm.



It is fitted with a double-sealed 316L Stainless screwdown caseback and a 4mm thick domed plexiglass acrylic crystal. The overall crystal measurement is 8mm. The case back features a 'Red Eagle' engraving outlined in red.



The bezel is uni-directional type with clicks at 5min intervals. It has a drab olive green inlay with red markers and a lumed 12 hour marker. The 12-sided crown, positioned at 12 o'clock measures 9mm. It is double sealed and signed with the VDB logo outlined in red.



The dial is made from brass that has been coated, engraved and painted along with the hands with vintage-style degraded luminous material. The central point of the dial sports a large 'radioactive' symbol.



The Red Eagle is powered by an old school Eterna Matic automatic movement. It is presented on 28mm hand-stitched brown leather strap with printed eagle motif and a solid bronze buckle.
