Vacheron Constantin Overseas Dual Time

Technicality meets practicality in the new Vacheron Constantin Overseas Dual Time model equipped with an in-house movement enabling simultaneous reading of two timezones governed by particularly user-friendly handling and enhanced by three interchangeable bracelet/straps in steel, leather or rubber. 

The traveller-dedicated Overseas Dual time Watch flaunts a distinctive design epitomising fine watchmaking dedicated to user friendliness. A six-sided bezel inspired by the emblematic Maltese cross, in-house movements designed for smooth and easy handling, an oscillating weight adorned with a wind rose, interchangeable bracelet/straps: the Overseas line embodies the modern lifestyle deliberately open to the wider world. The Overseas Dual Time joins the adventure equipped with the eponymous complication much favoured by globetrotters.

The Dual Time 

This watch features a new movement from Vacheron Constantin: Caliber 5110 DT. It enables simultaneous reading of the two timezones by means of coaxial hands. The hours hand indicates the local timezone corresponding to the wearer’s current location, while the hand tipped with a triangular arrow shows the time in a reference timezone, generally known as “home time”. A 12-hour display, adjustable via the crown in both directions (position 1: local time, independent jumping adjustment; position 2: home time, dragging adjustment of both timezones and minutes), along with a day/night indication set to home time, and a pointer-type date display, adjusted and secured via a screw-lock pusher at 4 o’clock and synchronised with local time. This 234-component movement oscillates at a frequency of 4 Hz and has a comfortable 60-hour power reserve thanks to its twin barrels.

Complex yet simple: the silver dial on steel case and bracelet is perfect for understated elegance.

Practical and adaptable 

This easily adjustable dual time caliber is housed in a 41 mm-diameter stainless steel case water-resistant to 150 metres and featuring a design that highlights the Overseas signature features: Vacheron Constantin’s Maltese cross emblem; a translucent lacquered dial with facetted and luminescent gold hands and hour-markers; a double graduation bearing the minutes and seconds scales; a 22 carats gold oscillating weight adorned with a wind rose; and of course the three interchangeable bracelet/straps enabling tool-free fitting. The new Overseas Dual Time watch stays true to form with its elegance while maintainingcomfort and user friendliness. Presented on a stainless steel bracelet with half Maltese cross-shaped polished and satin-brushed links, complete with a comfort-adjustment system, the Overseas Dual Time is delivered with two additional straps matching the shade of the dial: in blue alligator leather and rubber rubber, equipped with an interchangeable stainless steel folding clasp.
