Vacheron Constantin has introduced two new versions of its Overseas Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin, featuring refined design elements and the brand’s technical expertise in ultra-thin watchmaking.
The latest additions come in 18K pink gold with a matching dial and 18K white gold with a burgundy lacquer dial. Both models feature a 41.5mm case measuring 8.1mm thick and are fitted with 18K gold bracelets, complemented by two additional interchangeable rubber straps.
The Overseas collection is characterised by its Maltese cross-inspired design and a balance of sporty and elegant elements. The perpetual calendar models continue Vacheron Constantin’s tradition of ultra-thin movements, a hallmark of the Maison since its founding in Geneva in 1755.
At the core of the new references is the Manufacture Calibre 1120 QP/1, a self-winding movement just 4.05mm thick. It integrates a perpetual calendar displaying the day, date, month and leap year on a 48-month counter, alongside hours, minutes and moon phases. The complication requires no manual adjustment until 2100, except for centenary years that are not leap years. The movement operates at a frequency of 19,800 vibrations per hour and provides a power reserve of approximately 40 hours. It comprises 276 components, including 36 jewels.
Both models feature a transparent sapphire caseback, revealing a 22K gold oscillating weight decorated with a compass rose. The Haute Horlogerie finishing includes Côtes de Genève, straight-graining, chamfering and circular-graining.
The pink gold edition has a sunburst satin-finished dial with a matching moon-phase disc and blue minutes track. It is delivered with a dark blue and a white rubber strap in addition to the gold bracelet. The white gold model contrasts its case with a burgundy lacquer dial and moon-phase disc, complemented by burgundy and white rubber straps.
Both watches are certified with the Poinçon de Genève hallmark and offer water resistance up to 5 bar (approximately 50 metres). The interchangeable strap system allows quick changes without tools, enhancing versatility for different occasions.
The Overseas Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin reflects Vacheron Constantin’s long-standing commitment to technical and artistic excellence, aligning with the brand’s philosophy of continuous innovation and craftsmanship over its 270-year history.
