Watch this way
MANILA, Philippines - Travel and the desire to explore the world have always been part of the Vacheron Constantin spirit. Jacques Vacheron started the trend in 1810, traveling throughout Europe and selling his watches to the rich and powerful. More than a hundred years later, in 1996 Vacheron Constantin launched a line called Overseas watches which are dedicated to frequent travelers. This collection crosses land and sea and transcends time zones.
Two years after celebrating the Overseas’ 10th anniversary, Vacheron Constantin has added two new models to this line, dedicated to the spirit of travel: the watch Overseas Dual Time, combining useful functions with a diamond setting, and a new pink gold version of the now-famous Overseas Chronograph. Both are invitations to travel.
The Overseas Dual Time model features date, a second time zone and a power reserve. Its 18K 5N pink or white gold case, generous 42-mm diameter and clear-cut, harmonious lines give this timepiece a strong character. The white gold bezel design is set with precious stones that conform to the most stringent criteria in terms of purity, color and size. It shimmers with 88 brilliant-cut diamonds. Thanks to its screw-down crown, this veritable jewel of elegance is water-resistant to a depth of 15 Atm, equivalent to approximately 150 meters. The Vacheron Constantin 1222 SC self-winding movement beats at 28,800 vibrations an hour.
Besides the central hours, minutes and seconds, the Dual Time features a second time zone on a rhodium-plated opaline sub-dial at 6 o’clock, to which a small day/night hour indicator is attached. This means the wearer will be able to keep track of time anywhere in the world. The watch Dual Time also features an anti-magnetic shield.
Vacheron Constantin also offers the self-winding Overseas Chronograph in a new pink gold version.
The sporty, stylish 42-mm case displays all the qualities associated with the collection. With its sleek lines, Maltese cross-inspired bezel, luminescent hour-markers, screw-down push-pieces, water-resistance to a depth of 15 Atm and the Overseas’ emblematic two-masted sailing ship motif engraved on the solid caseback, the new pink gold Overseas Chronograph is a worthy descendent of the Vacheron Constantin tradition of distinguished chronographs that look elegant in any situation. This watch offers the Vacheron Constantin 1137 movement, which beats at a rate of 21,600 vibrations/hour.
The Overseas Chronograph’s pink gold bracelet has an exclusive shape — a succession of half-Maltese cross links that give it a particularly refined look. With its triple folding clasp and double pushpiece locking system, this meticulously polished and satin-finished bracelet is incredibly supple and comfortable.
Vacheron Constantin is sold exclusively at the Silver Vault of Rustan’s Makati, Shangri-La Mall and Alabang Town Center.
