An Intense New Hue
Swiss luxury watchmaker, Vacheron Constantin, has introduced intense green dials to its casual yet elegant Overseas Collection.
AVacheron Constantin watch is far more than merely the sum of its parts. Starting from a sketch, a geometrical drawing and its technical extensions, a whole world of shapes, colors and textures is born. Each collection epitomizes the soul and artistry of Vacheron Constantin, with the Overseas lineup standing out as a shining example. Every Overseas model conveys the spirit of travel, with sporty-chic designs making the timepieces the perfectly daily companion. Now, in a first for the collection, the Swiss luxury watch manufacturer has introduced an exciting new color to its dials: an intense green that sits perfectly with a striking curation of bracelets.
The new green dials complement four pink gold watches including the 35 mm gem-set, 41 mm date, 42.5 mm chronograph, and 41 mm dual time models. Each of these new timepieces is equipped with a top-quality self-winding caliber featuring meticulous finishing, while the movements feature an oscillating weight engraved with the collection’s emblematic compass rose.
On these four models, just as on all Overseas watches, the pink gold bracelet with folding clasp is easily adjustable. It can be replaced by a calfskin leather strap or a green rubber strap, each with an interchangeable pin buckle. Thanks to the interchangeability of its bracelet and straps, each model adopts a different style.
New Dial Color
By endowing the dials of four pink gold models with an intense green color, the Maison has enhanced the adventurous vocation of the Overseas collection. This fresh aesthetic breaks with the classic color codes of Overseas watches: black, silver, pinkish beige, and the emblematic blue. To accentuate the intensity of the new color, meticulous care has been lavished on the finishing touches. Against a translucent lacquered backdrop playing on depth effects, the center is graced with sunburst satin-brushing, while the flange is delicately velvet-finished.
The legibility of the models is ensured by the contrast between the gold hour markers and hands highlighted with Super-LumiNova® and the dark dial color. Featuring a lighter-shaded double minutes track—or a single track on the gem-set model—the design enables effortless reading of the minutes and seconds. Meanwhile, the finishes of the integrated rose gold bracelets with polished and vertical satinbrushed links, harmoniously match those of the dials, topped by a circular satin-finished bezel.
Chic Yet Sporty
In keeping with the Overseas collection’s sporting vocation, these new models with their open sapphire crystal case backs are water-resistant to 150 meters thanks to a screw-down crown, while a soft-iron casing ring provides anti-magnetic protection for the movements. The timepieces also have a comfortable power reserve and beat at a frequency of 4 Hz (28,800 vibrations per hour).
