An easy gift for anyone who appreciates good footwear without unnecessary complications.

The Vero Workhorse Backcountry is a rugged American-designed field chronograph built to handle demanding everyday use. Its 44.5mm stainless steel case features a protective Cerakote finish, rubberized guards, and a left-side crown arrangement that keeps the controls away from the wrist.
