Hong Kong-assembled quartz skin diver, the smallest DS2; the 39mm (same Miyota GM12) and 42mm DS2 are separate models. Brand: 36mm, 42.6mm lug-to-lug, 10.4mm with crystal (10.3mm without), 18mm lugs ("not compatible with most other Vaer straps"), 15 ATM, 316L steel, single flat sapphire with AR coating (side not stated), locking screw-down crown, aluminum bezel with lume pip, Miyota GM12, "40-month battery life" and "-10/+20 sec/month timing tolerance" (Miyota's own spec: 3 years, +/-20 s/month). 15 layers of C3 lume on both colourways. The brand infographic in the 36mm gallery shows a "120-Click Bezel"; its direction is not stated for this size (the 39mm is unidirectional). The gallery's caseback photo shows a 3-link bracelet, which the 36mm isn't sold with, so caseback type is left blank. The sizing paragraph's "case weight of 70.6 grams" is repeated unchanged on the 36, 39 and 42mm pages and equals the D5 39mm figure, so it is not used; no weight was found. Dial and bezel colours from product photos. Ships with an 18mm black silicone strap plus an 18mm khaki nylon strap, or the Premium Jubilee bracelet (+USD 120, a DS2 36mm-specific fitment): five-piece links held by screws (Vaer FAQ on its Premium bracelets); taper, end links and clasp details for this 18mm version are not published. No 3-link bracelet is offered. Both colourways were sold out on 2026-10-21 with "No restock planned. Sign up for Back in Stock alerts to vote back in!", recorded as discontinued. Release year inferred from the store: both 36mm listings were created on 4 June 2026. No independent review of the 36mm was found. No hardening treatment is mentioned.
