When you want to wear a chronograph that comes with a more luxurious design than the usual sportiness its tachymetric scale evokes, we have an option available.
As long as there is no need to measure the approximate speed of a vehicle, the Vacheron Constantin Abroad is a spectacular choice for its luxury.
We generally prefer darker tones on our accessories, such as DLC black, gunmetal, and other similar shades, but there are exceptions. This watch has a 42.5 mm round case crafted from 18K 5N rose gold. The precious metal also appears on the case back, bracelet, and other structural elements.
Seen from every angle, the Overseas fascinates with its combination of polished and satin finishes. Beneath the sapphire crystal is a metal dial with sunray texture and blue lacquer. Its minute markers rest on the flange, while the latter holds the baton hour markers applied.
Its chronograph dials are positioned at 3 o’clock, 6 o’clock and 9 o’clock. The date window sits between the 4 o’clock and 5 o’clock markers, while the Vacheron Constantin signature is at 12 o’clock. We can also see luminous substance on the spikes of the hands and hour markers overseas.
A view from the sapphire window on the back of the case shows a 22K gold oscillating weight. Vacheron Constantin writes: “The intricate design here is “inspired by the wind rose, a tribute to the spirit of travel”. This is the in-house Caliber 5200 automatic movement with a 52-hour power reserve.
In addition to the 18K 5N rose gold bracelet, the Overseas comes with two more. You get a dark blue calfskin strap and a dark blue rubber strap. Vacheron Constantin listed for $73,000.
