Introducing the Vacheron Constantin Overseas Chronograph in Rose Gold and Blue Dial
After the stainless steel versions with a black and blue dial and a rose gold version with a silver dial, now arrives a fourth edition of the Vacheron Constantin Overseas Chronograph, which comes in pink gold with an integrated bracelet and blue dial.
The new Overseas Chronograph does not bring many new features, in addition to the new combination of pink gold case and bracelet with a blue lacquered dial with a sunburst effect, in comparison to the other variant in pink gold with silver dial, presents some nuances, namely the fact that the data window now comes with a gold lacquered frame, as happens with the three chronometer hands, the centre seconds hand and the small hands that in the other version were lacquered in black.
Everything else on the dial remains the same, a seconds outer ring and a minute inner ring, gold applied hour markers and hands all filled with luminescent material, a 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock, a 12-hour at 6 and a running seconds at 9, date window at 4 1/2 o’clock and gold applied logo and white label inscriptions at 12.
On the outside, there is nothing new besides those highlighted above, maintaining the characteristic 42.5 mm diameter case with a scalloped bezel and whose finish alternates between brushed and polished, fluted crown at 3 o’clock flanked by two buttons, sapphire crystal on the double-sided and 150m water resistance.
Inside, the Caliber 5200 with automatic movement continues to operate, running at 28,800 Vph and offering up to 52 hours of power reserve, which can be seen through the open case back, highlighting the gold oscillating weight that is attached to a screw shaped like a maltese cross.
As with the other two stainless steel models, the new Overseas Chrono, in addition to the integrated bracelet, which together with the case has a combined weight of 249gr, also comes with two extra blue straps, one in leather and the other in rubber, both with hardware in the same material as the case.
The new chronograph is now available in the brand’s official boutiques and authorized retailers for a price of €84,500.
