Watch Review| Vacheron Constantin

Vacheron Constantin
The Overseas collection has been a popular one for Vacheron Constantine since the launch of the first version in 1996. In 2010 the world’s oldest watch manufacturer brought a beautiful titanium and stainless steel watch in to the market, the Overseas Dual Time watch is a watch with great functionality for travelers and collectors , the model offers two time zones, a day/night indicator, a power reserve complication, and a date display.

The Overseas Dual Time case measures 42mm in diameter and 12.45mm thickness crafted in stainless steel with a titanium bezel. The push-piece is protected with a titanium guard. The solid case-back has been stamped with the "Overseas" medallion that has been secured with screw fastening. The case construction guarantees a Water resistance that has been tested at a pressure of 15 Bar or 150 meters. The alluring grey dial has a circular satin-brushed finish with a painted outer minute circle and 12 applied hour-markers in 18-carat gold highlighted with a white luminescent substance, it is Shielded by a flat sapphire crystal,that provides perfect readability . The watch comes with a dark grey square-scale alligator leather strap and an additional strap in black rubber, secured to your wrist with a double-safety triple-blade folding clasp in stainless steel

Vacheron Constantin Overseas Dual Time is powered by the mechanical self-winding movement caliber 1222 SC. The movement is protected by an antimagnetic to 25,000 A/m. It contains no less than 34 jewels and beats at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations/hour, with a power reserve of approximately 40 hours. this movement showcases Cotes de Geneve decorations on the bridges, parts with beveled edges, and a mainplate with circular graining. As with all Vacheron Constantin mechanical watches, each movement is carefully adjusted in five positions to deliver excellent precision. A stop-seconds function is a small but welcome technical point that allows the watch to be precisely set against a time signal.
