Vacheron Constantin presented two new Overseas models characterised by vanished blue shiny dials. Completed by white gold hands and white painted indications, the two dials are framed by a 42 mm satin-brushed and polished stainless steel case with the typical bezel inspired by the brand-emblem Maltese Cross.
Elegant and sporty, the Overseas Simple Date is equipped with Calibre 1226 SC, a mechanical self-winding movement powering hours, minutes and central seconds hands, as well an aperture-type date display at 4:30.
The second model, the Overseas Dual Time, is equipped with self-winding Calibre 1222 SC which, along with the hours, minutes, central seconds and date, also drives a dual-time display with day/night indication as well as a power-reserve indication.
The two movements beat at 28,800 vibrations per hour and offer 40 hours of power reserve. A soft iron case integrated within the steel case protects the movements from magnetic fields. The two timepieces are water resistant to 15 bar (approximately 150 metres) thanks to the screw-lock crown.
Love the new dial but the price is too high for a simple date watch.
The price is high for sure but keep in mind that this is a Vacheron Constantin. And if you consider the price of a Royal Oak 15202 or a Nautilus this is near to half.
