About this entry

89% of key specs known. Missing: weight, hardening.

USA-assembled quartz GMT on the Swiss Ronda 515.24H ("caller" GMT: the 24-hour hand is set independently in one-hour steps); the 42mm G2 is a separate model. Brand: 39mm, 46mm lug-to-lug, 10.8mm with the single-domed sapphire (10.4mm without), 15 ATM, 120-click bidirectional bezel, AR coated (side not stated), -10/+20 s/month, 40-month battery. Solid caseback per Two Broke Watch Snobs (which also notes some bezel play); screw-down caseback per the ownership guide. The Pacific Steel product text describes a brushed steel bezel while its spec list says "Aluminum GMT bezel"; the other variants list aluminum (Two Broke Watch Snobs confirms aluminum on the Meridian). Lume is BGW9 on most variants and Old Radium on Pacific Steel. Prices are the same for all regular variants (USD 429 with two straps, 519 with the Premium steel bracelet, 549 with the Premium jubilee); the Fairway golf edition has its own prices (see below). Bracelet data as in the D5 file (Premium Steel Bracelet: screw links, solid custom-fit end links, quick-release pins, 20-16mm, milled clasp, four spring-bar micro-adjust positions); the watch page's generic "friction fit pins / 18mm" blurb conflicts and refers to the older Standard bracelet. Weight not published or found. Two Broke Watch Snobs reviewed it at USD 399 (earlier price). Fairway: a golf edition (listing created April 2026, early access from May 2026) on the same 39mm case and Ronda quartz GMT; its page says "Limited Edition Release - Order While Supplies Last" without a number, so it is recorded as a limited variant. Its spec list repeats the other G2s' figures (39mm, 46mm, 10.8mm with crystal, 10.4mm without, 20mm lugs, 15 ATM, 316L, locking screw-down crown, single-domed sapphire with AR, 15 layers of BGW9), and aBlogtoWatch confirms the shared case and crown, the Ronda 515.24H and identical dimensions. Differences: its brushed steel bezel turns in 24 clicks and carries a -5 to +18 golf score scale instead of a 24-hour scale (Vaer's spec list, aBlogtoWatch and Fratello agree on 24 clicks), so the model's 120-click 24-hour bezel does not apply to it; the 24-hour scale moves to a raised chapter ring with an orange "Score" marker (lumed, glowing green per aBlogtoWatch; hands and markers glow blue); matte green dial, arrow-shaped hour hand, tee-and-ball seconds hand, orange GMT hand, green and orange date disc. Vaer's launch page says it repurposes the "24-click bezel" of its steel-bezel GMT platform and Fratello says the 24 clicks "remain the same", which conflicts with the 120 clicks Vaer lists for the steel-bezel Pacific Steel; not resolved here. aBlogtoWatch saw a slightly box-shaped sapphire with a flat top; Vaer's "single domed" is kept. Caseback: aBlogtoWatch calls it identical to the other G2s' world-map caseback, Vaer and Fratello describe golf locations; the photo shows a world map ringed by city names. Prices on 2026-10-23 (sold out, next restock expected late November): USD 489 with the FKM strap plus a green or khaki single-pass nylon strap, 519 with an FKM waffle strap, 579 with the Premium steel bracelet, 609 with the Premium jubilee or black Horween leather; Fratello quoted USD 449 in July 2026, aBlogtoWatch USD 489 in September 2026.
