Vacheron Constantin presents new 34.5mm and 35mm versions of its Overseas Self-winding watch. This latest addition to the brand’s sporty-chic family includes four references in steel and pink gold, in gem-set and non-set versions, with a sunburst blue or pink lacquered dial.
The new diameters prompted the in-house designers to rethink the silhouette of the models, which are now slimmer and more ergonomic, giving them a slender appearance.
Each piece is loyal to the collection’s emblematic codes. The hours and minutes indications are accompanied by central seconds and a date display at 3 o’clock. The minutes track, placed around the rim in a single row, features a velvety finish creating harmonious light effects with the sunburst satin-brushed decoration of the lacquered dial.
The two models in 18K 5N pink gold as well as the non-set steel timepiece adopt the collection’s iconic blue dial, while that of the steel watch set with 90 diamonds feature a delicate shade of pink.
To ensure excellent legibility at night, the hours and minutes hands as well as the hour markers feature Super-LumiNova® inlays.
A major attraction of the Vacheron Constantin Overseas collection is the simple and practical strap interchangeability system.
Each reference from the new series comes with three bracelet/straps: an integrated metal bracelet (in 18K 5N pink gold or steel depending on the case), and two straps in rubber and calfskin. Another new feature is that the calfskin and rubber straps are now all equipped with an interchangeable clasp/buckle: a folding clasp on the steel models and a pin buckle for the gold versions.
Equipped with Calibre 1088/1, the new Overseas Self-winding 34.5mm and 35mm watches display the hours, minutes, seconds, and date. Capable of delivering a 40-hour power reserve, this automatic movement incorporates a stop-seconds mechanism, enabling precise adjustment of the timekeeping functions.
Featuring rear bridges bearing the Côtes de Genève motif, it is fitted with the collection’s emblematic rotor in 22K gold, adorned with a compass rose and visible through the sapphire crystal on the caseback.
