Vacheron Constantin strikes hard with its new Overseas in pink gold and green dial. This exceptional timepiece combines refined elegance and sporty functionality, redefining the codes of the versatile luxury watch. Dive into the fascinating world of this timepiece that is likely to shake up your expectations of fine watchmaking.
A striking design that does not leave you indifferent
The new Overseas in pink gold from Vacheron Constantin makes a splash at first glance. Its imposing 42 mm case in 18-carat pink gold immediately catches the eye. The deep emerald green dial creates a striking contrast with the warmth of the gold, creating a visual combination that is both bold and sophisticated.
At first glance, some might find this watch a bit excessive. The shine of the gold, the intensity of the dial and the substantial weight can seem intimidating. However, after a few days on the wrist, the magic happens and the Overseas reveals its full potential.
Surprising versatility in everyday life
One of the major assets of this Overseas lies in its interchangeable strap system. Vacheron Constantin has developed an ingenious mechanism allowing you to switch from the gold strap to the rubber strap in a few seconds, without tools.
This flexibility radically transforms the look of the watch:
โ On its gold bracelet, it embodies absolute luxury, perfect for formal occasions.โ Mounted on the green rubber bracelet, it adopts a more casual and sporty style, ideal for everyday use.
This adaptability makes the Overseas a serious contender for the title of one watch for all situations.
Surprising comfort despite its dimensions
With its 42 mm diameter, the Overseas might seem imposing. However, it is surprisingly comfortable to wear. The ergonomic design of the case and the quality of the straps allow the watch to adapt perfectly to the wrist.
On the rubber strap, the watch appears even thinner and more discreet than one might think. This technical feat is a testament to Vacheron Constantin's expertise in watch design.
An exceptional movement signed Vacheron Constantin
At the heart of this Overseas beats the caliber 5100, an automatic manufacture movement certified by the prestigious Geneva Seal. Its exceptional finishes make it a true mechanical masterpiece:
โ Impeccable chamfering of the bridges and platesโ Cรดtes de Genรจve on the bridgesโ Perlage on the plateโ 22-carat gold oscillating weight decorated with a compass rose
This movement offers a comfortable 60-hour power reserve and chronometric precision.
A unique watchmaking heritage
The Overseas is part of Vacheron Constantin's line of elegant sports watches, which dates back to the 1970s. Unlike some of its competitors, the Overseas was not designed by the famous Gerald Genta, which gives it its own identity.
The roots of the Overseas are found in two of the house's iconic models:
1. The โTurn-o-graphโ reference 6782 from the 1950s2. The reference 222 launched in 1977
These watches laid the foundation for the unique Overseas design, which debuted in 1996 and has continued to evolve ever since.
A watch that appeals to connoisseurs
The first feedback from experts and watch enthusiasts is unanimous: the Overseas rose gold and green dial is a total success. We particularly appreciate:
โ The striking contrast between the rose gold and the deep green of the dialโ The quality of the finishes, worthy of the greatest manufacturersโ The versatility offered by the interchangeable strap system
Some might regret the lack of a smaller version, but most agree that the comfort of wearing it more than compensates for the generous dimensions of the watch.
A top-tier watch investment
With its timeless design, impeccable manufacturing quality and watchmaking pedigree, the Overseas rose gold is a choice investment for discerning collectors.
Its price, although substantial, is justified by:
โ The use of noble materials (18 carat pink gold)โ The complexity of the manufacture movementโ The presence of the Geneva Sealโ Vacheron Constantinโs reputation for excellence
In the long term, this Overseas has every chance of increasing in value and becoming a sought-after piece on the second-hand market.
