As the oldest watchmaker that has been in continuous operation in the world, Vacheron Constantin holds an eminent position in the realm of haute horlogerie. To be frank, when a watchmaker ascends to such heights of excellence, it no longer needs to adhere to short-lived trends or resort to artifice to draw attention. Standing firmly by its identity and maintaining its superlative quality are more than sufficient to earn the admiring gaze of its watchmaking peers.
Vacheron Constantin has a wealth of designs that cater to the diverse preferences of watch enthusiasts today. From the fluid and elegant minimalism of the Traditionnelle collection to the effortlessly stylish and sporty Overseas, there's something to satisfy the desires of collectors of all genders and styles.
OVERSEAS SELF-WINDING
The bezel of the Overseas collection, inspired by the brand's iconic Maltese cross, sets it apart from other luxury sports watches. The Overseas is a sports-chic model that remembers its roots. Like a gentleman on the green, who maintains his composure during a challenging game, the watch exudes an air of elegance.
The latest Overseas Self-Winding model is available in a royal blue or gentle pink dial, set with 84 diamonds on the bezel. A little-known fact about the Overseas: a second row of diamonds is added on the notches of the bezel which follows the form of the Maltese cross. To ensure the size and carat of the diamonds are the same, Vacheron Constantin enlarged the bezel slightly to accommodate them, set in a prong setting.
OVERSEAS CHRONOGRAPH
The "panda" or black-and-white chronograph display is a much beloved design among watch collectors. This year, the Overseas inducts a new chronograph model featuring this particular dial execution.
