Vacheron Constantin’s new Overseas series watches in 2024
Entering 2024, Vacheron Constantin’s Overseas series welcomes new works.
The new 35mm diamond-set calendar watch, 41mm calendar watch, 42.5mm chronograph watch and 41mm dual time watch use a new dark green dial for the first time.
Except for the 42.5 mm chronograph watch, the other three models are equipped with a 5200 self-winding mechanical movement. The internal structure of the movement contains 263 parts and has a power reserve of approximately 52 hours. The other three new watches are equipped with three quickly replaceable bracelets/straps.
It is worth mentioning that in the future, more brands may follow Vacheron Constantin’s design style and launch similar luxury sports watches.
Market performance and player preferences of the new Overseas series watches
Regarding the market performance of the new model, the preference of advanced players for all-gold watch cases and dark green disks will be an important influencing factor.
The new 41mm calendar watch (model: 4300V/110R-B952) has a dark green dial and a full gold case, showing a noble and elegant side in terms of color aesthetics.
You know, the dark green disk is the same color as “Emperor Green”, but dark green is more low-key and restrained than “Emperor Green”, and is more in line with the aesthetic needs of today’s advanced players.
If this player already has an “imperial green” piece in his hand, then the possibility of buying this 41mm all-gold dark green watch will be greatly increased.
The market performance of new models will also be driven by these players.
Positioning and price of Vacheron Constantin’s new watches
The price of 660,000 yuan is indeed a big improvement compared to the usual price of about 400,000 yuan.
And such pricing also attracts experienced and advanced players to a large extent.
After all, in their eyes, such a price may not be enough to buy a women’s watch with standard luxury items such as diamonds, gold plating, platinum, and gemstones.
Vacheron Constantin’s new works in 2024 will strengthen its position in the field of high-end luxury sports watches.
Design and functionality of the 42.5 mm chronograph watch
The 42.5mm chronograph watch (model 5520V/210RB966) adds a complex timing device to the 42.5mm calendar watch and has more comprehensive functions.
The elegance of luxury sports watches is further demonstrated here.
This new 42.5mm chronograph watch is actually a functional upgrade of the 42.5mm calendar watch (model: 5500V/110A-B) launched in 2021.
Advanced players’ love for high-end sports watches stems from their exquisite and elegant appearance design, as well as their diverse functional choices.
Prior to this, Vacheron Constantin had launched a 42.5mm calendar model for the Overseas series, which was equipped with the 5200 self-winding mechanical movement.
The internal structure of the movement contains 263 parts and provides a power reserve of approximately 52 hours.
This brand new 42.5 mm chronograph watch is also equipped with the 5200 movement, and adds chronograph complications on this basis.
The internal structure of the movement contains 305 parts, and the power reserve is still about 52 hours, but part of the power reserve comes from the operation of the chronograph function.
Like the 5200 movement, the movement also has a silicon hairspring, which means that the watch’s antimagnetic performance is very good.
Appearance design of 42.5mm chronograph watch
The new 42.5 mm chronograph watch has a diameter of 42.5 mm and a thickness of 12.67 mm. The thickness is almost the same as the 41 mm calendar watch in the same series, and it is also very comfortable to wear.
This chronograph watch is made of 18K 5N pink gold, and the case is polished. The entire watch looks very dazzling under the light.
It should be noted that although this watch is made of 18K 5N pink gold, due to its polishing process, there is not much color difference with other metal materials (such as 18K gold, platinum, etc.).
This makes the watch look very harmonious under the light, and it is not easy to give people a “vulgar” feeling.
The bezel and outer ring adopt brushing technology, forming a clear contrast between the two, thereby enhancing the layering of the entire watch.
The dial design and functions of the new chronograph watch
The dial design of the new chronograph watch is divided into upper and lower parts.
The upper half is the main dial, and the lower half is the chronograph function dial.
The main dial adopts a dark green design, which is matched with the all-gold body, showing a low-key, restrained, noble and elegant tonal aesthetic.
This color aesthetic is also reflected in the new 41mm calendar watch, which illustrates Vacheron Constantin’s preference for this color aesthetic.
In addition to the date window at 3 o’clock, the main dial also has three hands. The hour, minute and second hands are all made of gold-plated material, and the hands are made of luminous coating to ensure that the time can still be read in dark light environments.
It should be noted that the second hand here is not used to indicate seconds, but a hand used to indicate the operating status of the timing function, so its length is shorter than the other two hands.
Summarize
Overall, the new 42.5 mm chronograph watch is a high-end luxury sports watch that is both elegant and practical. Its design and functions embody the essence of high-end watchmaking technology. It is an important innovation for Vacheron Constantin in 2024.
Conclusion
The new 42.5 mm chronograph watch not only gives people an eye-catching appearance in appearance, but also has a comprehensive upgrade in function, which perfectly reflects the charm of high-end luxury sports watches. I think this watch is definitely worth buying, especially for those players who pursue uniqueness and taste. What do you think? Are you also attracted by this watch?
