G5 Tactical - 39mm USA GMT

SUMMARY The G5 Meridian is a 1950s-inspired 20ATM automatic watch that stands out in the Vaer line-up as our most premium USA-assembled model and our first true GMT. As a G-series model, this watch is part of our dual timezone automatic series, distinguished by its ocean-ready functionality, self-winding movement, and full American assembly.

WHO IS THIS WATCH FOR? We recommend the G5 for those seeking a premium automatic dual-timezone watch that references the very best GMTs in history. The timeless nature of mechanical movements makes it the perfect fit for an everyday wearer, and the 39mm case sizing is large enough to command presence on most men's wrists while still maintaining our commitment to ergonomic, and timeless proportions.

INSPIRATION The G5 Meridian is the GMT version of the Meridian diver (our core dive watch design). In designing that watch, our goal was to pay homage to military history while also further establishing a distinct and modern Vaer aesthetic. This watch's dial design is inspired by the 1970s Rolex Milsub and 1950s GMT Master, worn by American Pan Am pilots in the early days of commercial aviation. The dial features Vaer’s distinctive curved trapezoid indices, and round dots at the 2, 4, 8, 10, (another hallmark of Vaer dials). The G5 GMT is further distinguished as one of the first Vaer model to use X1-grade lume paint - the feature that helps it achieve such an incredible night-time glow.

This watch is sized at 39mm in diameter, and measures 48mm from lug to lug, giving it a medium-sized presence on the wrist, and complementing most men's wrists. The 39mm case is our most popular sized dive option, and we recommend it for anyone with wrists in the 6.5 inch to 8.5-inch range, or especially if you're someone who likes a more low-profile vintage fit (compared to our larger 42mm dive case options).

Built for extended outdoor use, this watch has been designed to be slim, lightweight, and as comfortable as possible, while still maintaining 20ATM water resistance. The watch case measures 13.2 mm case thickness, 15.6mm with crystal and has a case weight of 70.6 grams. The entire case is also rounded and ergonomic so it can be worn comfortably during activities like surfing or diving.

This watch comes in a range of interchangeable strap options, and they are designed to fit wrists ranging from 6.5" to 8.5" in diameter - though we do have specialty straps available for those with wrists outside of this range.
