Vacheron Constantin introduces their new Overseas collection. The collection welcomes six all-steel or two-tone references with a pink gold bezel.
Their Manufacture movements are visible through the transparent sapphire crystal caseback and sporty yet elegant style makes for perfect evening wear, or a travelling accessory.
The collection houses two new steel references with a casual chic appeal. They are available in a 37-millimetre diameter, and are fitted with blue or rosy beige dials. The watches are powered by Manufacture Calibre 5300 driving central hours and minutes hands as well as small seconds at 9 o’clock. This enables these new models to provide variety by interchanging the straps and bracelets.
The Overseas collection also welcomes four new models with a steel case topped by 18K 5N pink gold bezel.
The collection also features four new models with a steel case topped by 18K 5N pink gold bezel. The chronograph offered in a 42.5-millimetre diameter is equipped with a mechanical self-winding Manufacture Calibre 5200, and displays its functions on a translucent silver-toned lacquered dial.
This model is fitted with a column wheel coordinating the chronograph start, stop and zero-reset functions, as well as a vertical coupling clutch preventing any jolting of the hand when the chronograph starts.
The signature of Vacheron Constantin chronographs, the column wheel, is adorned with a screw shaped like the brand’s emblematic Maltese cross.
This movement is equipped with a twin barrel enhancing its torque and reliability, while ensuring a more than 50-hour power reserve. The two interchangeable straps allow the chronograph to adapt seamlessly to various styles.
The second two-tone model focuses on essentials, displaying the hours, minutes, seconds and date on a translucent silver-toned lacquered dial. Housed in a 41-millimetre diameter stainless steel and pink gold case, the Manufacture Calibre 5100 is Hallmark of Geneva certified.
Stainless steel and pink gold also adorn the two models featuring daintier 37 millimetre cases. One of these versions comes with an 18K 5N pink gold bezel lit up by 84 round-cut diamonds. Powered by the calibre 5300, these Overseas watches are delivered with two dark brown straps, one in alligator leather and the other in rubber.
