Vacheron Constantin’s luxury sports chronograph stalwart in the Overseas collection is joined by a new model in 18kt 5N rose gold. It joins other Overseas Chronograph models in pink gold and stainless steel.

This new model is 42.5mm with a thickness of 13.7mm, with a screw-down crown, quarter-turn screw chronograph pushers, and is water resistant to 150m.

The dial is lacquered translucent blue with sunburst effect and satin finishing. The small seconds and chronograph 30-minute and 12-hour counters are snailed, and the hour markers and hands are 18kt rose gold with Super-LumiNova. The date aperture is white rather than blue, which is the one thing that I’d change about it.

Visible through the open case back is the automatic in-house Calibre 5200 column wheel chronograph movement. With a 22kt gold oscillating weight, it beats at 28,800 VPH, and has a power reserve of 52 hours. The column-wheel has a Maltese cross-shaped screw.

The new Overseas Chronograph Rose Gold comes with three easily interchangeable bracelet/ straps – an 18kt rose gold bracelet with polished and satin-brushed links, triple blade folding clasp and half Maltese cross is joined by a dark blue rubber strap and a dark blue calf strap with light grey stitching, with 18kt rose gold buckles.

Available exclusively at Vacheron Constantin boutiques, this new model has an RRP of AUD 115,000 (including taxes).
