About this entry
89% of key specs known. Missing: hardening, AR coating.
Current (2025 "V2") 39mm D5, assembled in the USA; the 42mm D5 is a separate case size. Brand: 39mm, 46mm lug-to-lug, 11.9mm case height / 12.5mm with crystal, 20mm lugs, 20 ATM, flat sapphire, "case weight" 70.6g (recorded as head weight), Miyota 9015 with date, "-5/+10 sec/day timing tolerance" on the product pages (the February 2026 ownership guide says about -5/+15). Coin-edge unidirectional bezel and screw-down gasket-sealed caseback per the ownership guide; whether the caseback is solid or display on the current version is not stated (Worn & Wound's 2020 review of the first D5 had a sapphire window and a 120-click ceramic bezel, 13.7mm thick, so those details are not carried over). Case material recorded as steel from Worn & Wound (grade not stated for the case). AR coating not stated. Bezel insert differs by variant (ceramic on the Meridians, two-tone sapphire on the Anacapa, not stated for the Tropic). Every D5 ships with an FKM strap plus a second strap or a bracelet. Bracelet recorded is the "Premium Steel Bracelet" (+USD 90): oyster-inspired flat three-piece links, removable screw links (1.4mm screwdriver), custom-fit solid end links, quick-release pins, 20-16mm taper, milled clasp (brand page title) with four micro-adjust positions for the bracelet's attachment point (spring-bar holes, so "tool"). The watch pages' generic bracelet blurb ("friction fit pins... tapers to 18mm") matches Vaer's description of its older Standard bracelet and conflicts with the Premium bracelet page; the bracelet page is preferred. A Premium Jubilee (five-link, +USD 120, 20-16mm) is also offered; Vaer's Elite on-the-fly-clasp bracelet is listed as fitting D5 39mm but is not a checkout option on these pages. Bracelet weight per Vaer: 2.7 oz (about 77g) out of the box. Meridian Navy and Anacapa were sold out on 2026-10-20 (restock expected late October).
