VC unveils two new ultra-thin overseas perpetual calendar models

Vacheron Constantin has expanded its iconic Overseas collection with two new interpretations of the ultra-thin perpetual calendar.

One model comes in pink gold with a tone-matched dial and moon phase display, while the other is crafted in white gold with a striking deep burgundy lacquered dial. Both timepieces feature cases measuring 41.5 mm in diameter and just 8.1 mm in thickness, and are delivered with three interchangeable straps: an 18K gold bracelet and two rubber straps (color-coordinated in blue, burgundy, or white).

Inspired by the Maison’s Maltese cross emblem, the watches combine refined proportions with a touch of sportiness. The pink gold version is accented by a subtle blue minute track, while the white gold edition features crisp white markers against the rich burgundy dial. Through the sapphire caseback, the 22K gold oscillating weight can be admired, engraved with a wind rose motif — a tribute to the spirit of travel.

Inside beats the in-house caliber 1120 QP/1, measuring less than 3 mm thick. It drives the perpetual calendar functions (day, date, month, and leap-year cycle), along with the moon phases, and requires no adjustment until the year 2100. The movement offers a 40-hour power reserve and is water-resistant to 50 meters. Fine watchmaking details include Côtes de Genève decoration, perlage, and meticulous hand-polishing.
