New Vacheron Constantin Overseas Moonphase Retrograde Date
The sporty-chic Overseas gets new features and continues its elegant and powerful look. 1:1 Replica Watches
The Vacheron Constantin Overseas range debuted in 1996 but is considered by many to be the successor to the Vacheron 222 model, designed by Jörg Hysek (not Genta) and launched in 1977. The collection was updated in 2016 to build a sporty luxury watch around a popular concept, and the various versions of the effortlessly elegant Overseas collection remain popular. Vacheron Constantin has successfully integrated advanced watchmaking craftsmanship into the sporty and stylish Overseas series, offering a variety of complex functions, including tourbillon, ultra-thin perpetual calendar, chronograph and dual time zone models. Maison added a reference this year with a moon phase display and retrograde date.
Retrograde indications are a feature of the Patrimony Heritage line, but until now it wasn’t part of the Overseas line. It is worth mentioning that this unusual display method began to find its way into Vacheron Constantin’s collections in the 1990s, first with the Métiers d’Art Mercator models featuring double retrograde hours and minutes, and later as part of the regular collection. Models 47245 and 47247 with retrograde day and date are the first ones if you want to see them.
The new Vacheron Constantin Cosmopolitan with Moon Phase and Retrograde Date functions is everything we love about the Cosmopolitan collection. The iconic 41 mm case is recognizable from a distance with its hexagonal bezel, polished and satin-brushed surfaces and fluted crown. Made of stainless steel, it perfectly frames the blue lacquered dial, with velvet-finish flanges and a sunburst satin-brushed center that shines beautifully.
The familiar shape of the white gold hour markers and hands, including the tip of the blue retrograde date hand, is treated with Super-LumiNova, and all dial elements are in harmony, even the “romantic” moon phase display does not dilute the sporty character of the watch . The moon phase display is at 6 o’clock and the number of days elapsed since the last new moon (moon age) can be read as the aperture scales from 0 to 29 1⁄2 – the moon orbits the earth once in 29 days and 12 hours 45 minutes later. A tasteful retrograde date display occupies the upper half of the dial. buy replica watches
Vacheron Constantin said that it took several months to find the perfect solution for the balanced design, and it took more than three years to integrate the retrograde date and precise moon phase functions into the vertical and horizontal series. The challenge was not only aesthetic, but also technical, not least in developing the moon phase mechanism, which now has a 135-tooth gear, to ensure accuracy of deviation from the true lunar cycle of 122 years and 1 day. The movement responsible for the operation of this timepiece is the self-winding movement, composed of 275 components, Caliber 2460 R31L/2, with a power reserve of 40 hours. The decorated movement with 22K gold oscillating weight is visible through the sapphire case back; note the counterweights and the compass on the circular-grained plate.
The movement is made of 27 jewels and beats at 28,800vph. Watch settings, including time, date and moon phase corrections, are done via the crown. The strap/bracelet interchangeability continues the user-friendliness – the watch comes with a steel bracelet and comes with two additional calfskin and blue rubber straps. The bracelet closes with a stainless steel three-blade folding clasp with push buttons. It is equipped with a comfort adjustment system. Pricing and availability of the top luxury fake watch will be confirmed at a later date.
