The Los Angeles-based brand, Vaer, is known for its wide range of timepieces, from high-end models almost reaching the thousand-dollar marker to the more budget-friendly offerings. One of the key affordability champions in Vaer’s portfolio, the G2 Meridian GMT, is a lead protagonist in this diversified array of watch models. Built on Swiss quartz movement, the G2 Meridian GMT is presented as a cost-effective counterpart to the brand’s top-tier travel watches, but without sacrificing the charm, characteristics, and quality of its expensive siblings.

Currently, Vaer’s top-end offering stands to be its G5 GMT series. However, the focus here is its cost-effective kin, the G2 Meridian GMT, which mirrors a significant magnitude of the superior G5 attributes. Shunned from luxurious detailing or ceramic bezels, Vaer’s G2 series instead asserts a more vintage appeal with its stainless-steel bezel and anodized aluminum bezel inserts.
