About this entry
79% of key specs known. Missing: movement, thickness, weight, hardening.
No-date version of the 42mm DS4 Meridian Black, sold as its own listing (created August 2025) at USD 20 less than the date version; the dated DS4 42mm is a separate model. Same published specs as the dated 42mm: 42mm, 48mm lug-to-lug, 20mm lugs, 20 ATM, 316L steel, locking screw-down crown, single flat sapphire with AR coating (side not stated), aluminum bezel with lume pip, 15 layers of BGW9 on the dial and BGW9 on the hands, Hong Kong assembly, 6 months' reserve from 6 hours of light, "-10/+20 sec/month timing tolerance". The caliber is not identified: the page says "Japan Made Epson VS-22/42" (both calibers have a date, so either could be cased without the window), so only the movement type is recorded. No date window in the product photos. Thickness is left blank: the page gives "11.6mm Thickness" without saying whether the flat crystal is included, and the D4 42mm page gives the same 11.6mm explicitly as case height without crystal. The "case weight of 70.6 grams" is the D5 39mm figure repeated across Vaer's pages and is not used. Unidirectional bezel and screw-down gasket-sealed caseback per Vaer's February 2026 D4/DS4 guide. The first product image's file name says "MN" (Meridian Navy) but the photo shows the black no-date watch. Ships with a black FKM strap plus a free khaki nylon strap or the Premium Steel Bracelet (+USD 90): screw links, solid custom-fit end links, quick-release pins, 20-16mm, milled clasp (brand page description), four spring-bar micro-adjust positions (Vaer FAQ). Sold out on 2026-10-21 with no restock date. No hardening treatment is mentioned.
