30 WATCHES & TIMEPIECES
OVERSEAS TOURBILLON
A NEW AESTHETIC HIGHLIGHTED BY TITANIUM
Certified with the Hallmark of Geneva and equipped with the ultra-thin calibre 2160, only 5.65 mm thick, the watch features a tourbillon regulator and fits comfortably on the wrist.
A TECHNICAL AND SPORTY MODEL Titanium is a material that proves particularly well-suited to watchmaking requirements, notably for its robustness, lightness, and the sporty spirit it conveys. This metal is indeed 30 % stronger than steel and weighs half as much. Vacheron Constantin introduced titanium in 2009 for certain components of the Overseas collection, and then, from 2019, for the Everest models developed in collaboration with photographer and explorer Cory Richards. In 2022, a new milestone was reached with an Overseas tourbillon skeleton watch made entirely of titanium. Two years later, another titanium tourbillon model features a blue dial.
The finishes of the deep red dial, characterized by a sunburst satinbrushed and a lacquered flange, highlight the model’ s highly horological character, particularly its tourbillon. This same attention to aesthetics is evident in the finishing touches of the grade 5 titanium case. The bracelet features polished link angles and a vertical satin-brushed finish, a detail also found on the case face. In contrast, the bezel, whose profile evokes the Maltese cross, has a circular satin-brushed finish on a sandblasted ring. This combination accentuates the slim profile of this ultra-thin model, measuring just 10.39 mm thick.
Vacheron Constantin enriches its Overseas collection with a titanium tourbillon model featuring a deep red dial. A material perfectly in keeping with the sporty and elegant spirit of the collection, titanium is a marvel of robustness and lightness.
ONE WATCH, THREE STYLES Suitable for all types of activities thanks to its lightness case and slim profile, the model comes with an integrated titanium bracelet featuring a triple-blade folding clasp equipped with a comfortadjustment system. This system allows for a 4 mm increase in wrist circumference. To further adapt the watch’ s style, two additional straps in deep red and white rubber are available. They are equipped with interchangeable grade 5 titanium folding clasp that can be changed without tools.
