A six-sided bezel evoking Vacheron Constantin’s Maltese Cross emblem; a translucent lacquered dial with facetted and luminescent gold hands and hour-markers; Manufacture movements designed to facilitate everyday use; a 22K gold oscillating weight adorned with a windrose; tool-free interchangeability of the bracelet/straps: Overseas epitomises the essence of contemporary living.

Calibre 1120 QP/1:

Available in an 18K 5N pink gold case, the new Overseas perpetual calendar ultra-thin watches display their technical complexity with an aura of understated distinction. These timepieces house the iconic Vacheron Constantin 1120 QP calibre, an ultra-thin mechanical self-winding movement completed with perpetual calendar and moon-phase functions. Representing a true feat of miniaturisation, this mechanism comprising 276 components housed within a space barely 4.05 mm thick copes with calendar irregularities and requires no related adjustments until the year 2100. Beating at the frequency of 2.75 Hz while enjoying a 40-hour power reserve, it drives indications of the hours and minutes, perpetual calendar – day of the week, date, month and leap year on a 48-hour counter – along with moon phases.

Case:

Measuring 41.5 mm in diameter and water-resistant to 50 metres, the 18K 5N pink gold case frames a translucent silver-toned or blue lacquered dial depending on the versions, punctuated by 18K gold hands and hour-markers enhanced with luminescent material, while the sapphire crystal caseback reveals a 22K gold oscillating weight adorned with a wind rose. The blue-dial version is fitted with a blue leather or rubber strap, while the version graced with a silver-toned dial flows into an 18K 5N pink gold bracelet.
