Vacheron Constantin Overseas Ultra-Thin Perpetual Calendar Watch – Azure Blue Dial

Vacheron Constantin Overseas Ultra-Thin Perpetual Calendar – Limited edition of 200 pieces with a blue dial, marking the 30th anniversary of the collection. Welcome to WatchesNearme, your can buy luxury Breitling Navitimer replica watches collection for men and women.

With the launch of the new-generation Overseas collection in 2016, Vacheron Constantin introduced a distinctive blue dial. This signature color is the result of close collaboration between the brand’s designers and master dial artisans. Through a skillful combination of metallic tones and layers of lacquer, the dial achieves a rich, multi-layered visual depth. Upon its debut, this classic, intense blue quickly became a favorite among Vacheron Constantin enthusiasts. The new Overseas Ultra-Thin Perpetual Calendar features this distinctive blue dial, offering a fresh aesthetic. Compared to the classic blue, this new shade is brighter, softer, and less saturated—evoking vast horizons and the freedom of travel, thereby echoing the innate spirit of exploration defining the Overseas collection. The watch possesses a unique allure, revealing shifting, multi-layered tones as light plays across its surface; this interacts beautifully with the warm, understated luster of the white gold, striking a perfect balance between refined sophistication and casual elegance.

The various displays are harmoniously integrated; notably, the color-matched blue moon-phase disc further accentuates the deep, layered visual effect of the lacquered dial. The calendar displays create a subtle contrast with the applied hour markers, ensuring excellent legibility while enhancing the overall balance and aesthetic appeal of the design. A true travel companion, this new timepiece features the Overseas collection’s signature interchangeable strap system, allowing for strap changes without the need for tools. The integrated white gold bracelet includes a clasp with a comfort-adjustment system, and the watch comes with two additional textured rubber straps—one white and one denim blue. Both rubber straps are fitted with interchangeable white gold pin buckles, offering versatile styling options to suit various occasions and personal tastes. Mastery of ultra-thin watchmaking enables a sophisticated perpetual calendar function.

The Vacheron Constantin in-house Calibre 1120 QP/1 continues the brand’s long-standing tradition of developing ultra-thin movements. Measuring just 4.05 mm in thickness, this self-winding mechanical movement integrates a full perpetual calendar and moon-phase display, allowing the watch to maintain a slender profile with a case thickness of only 8.1 mm. The movement’s architecture is a true feat of miniaturization; only the brand’s exceptional watchmaking expertise could skillfully house such a complex, classic complication within such a compact space. The perpetual calendar automatically accounts for months with 28, 30, and 31 days, as well as leap years, requiring no adjustment until the year 2100 (under Gregorian calendar rules, the year 2100 is not divisible by 400 and is therefore a non-leap year marking the turn of the century).

Through the sapphire crystal caseback, one can admire the exquisite hand-finishing details characteristic of fine watchmaking: the bridges are bevelled and adorned with *Côtes de Genève* (Geneva stripes), the mainplate features circular graining (*perlage*), and the perpetual calendar components are decorated with vertical or circular satin-brushed finishes. The 22K gold oscillating weight is engraved with a wind rose motif, echoing the spirit of exploration embodied by the Overseas collection. All 276 components—including those hidden from view after assembly—are meticulously finished; this unwavering attention to detail exemplifies the excellence of fine watchmaking upheld by the Overseas collection.
