About this entry

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

42mm version of the USA-assembled G5 GMT on the Miyota 9075 flyer-type GMT; the 39mm G5 is a separate model. Store listing created 15 April 2026 and tagged "new"; Vaer's February 2026 G5 guide lists 39mm and 42mm sizes with "identical construction standards, bezel architecture, movement technology". Brand spec list: 42mm, 48.48mm lug-to-lug, 13.27mm with the box sapphire (12.25mm without; the sizing paragraph rounds to 48.5, 12.2 and 13.2mm), 20mm lugs, 20 ATM, 316L steel, locking screw-down crown, brushed stainless steel 120-click bi-directional GMT bezel, box sapphire with AR coating (side not stated), Miyota 9075, 42h power reserve, "-5/+10 sec/day timing tolerance" (the February 2026 G5 guide says -5/+15), 15 layers of Old Radium on the dial and Old Radium on all three hands (the night photo shows a green glow). The guide calls the G5 bezel "ceramic", which does not fit the brushed steel bezel listed and pictured for the Pacific Steel. Screw-down, gasket-sealed caseback per the guide; whether the 42mm has the 39mm's display back is not shown or stated, so it is left blank. No weight is published (aBlogtoWatch's 73g was for the 39mm). Every G5 ships with a black FKM waffle strap plus a free olive single-pass nylon strap or a paid upgrade; bracelet recorded is the Premium Steel Bracelet (+USD 90; its 42mm fitment SKU is the one used for the DS2/D4/DS4/D5 42mm): screw links, solid custom-fit end links, quick-release pins, 20-16mm, milled clasp, four spring-bar micro-adjust positions (Vaer bracelet page and FAQ). Premium Jubilee (+USD 120) and the Elite Steel Bracelet with extension clasp (+USD 190) are also offered; lined Horween leather (+USD 120) is not recorded as a price. The page shows a "Limited Release" banner without an edition size; sold out on 2026-10-21 with the next restock expected in early November. No independent review of the 42mm was found. No hardening treatment is mentioned.
