Includes Alligator and Rubber Straps for Easy Swapping

The Overseas Dual Time, featuring a travel mechanism, joins Vacheron Constantin's "Overseas" collection, which was revamped last year.

Its most significant feature is the simultaneous display of two time zones. It is powered by a new in-house automatic movement that took several years to develop. The watch displays the wearer's local time, while a second hour hand, tipped with a triangular arrow, indicates the reference time, commonly known as "home time."

Both time hands can be adjusted by turning the crown in either direction. Position 1 of the crown allows the hour hand for local time to jump in one-hour increments. Position 2 adjusts the home time.

The case is available in stainless steel and 18k pink gold. Thanks to the Interchangeable System, it comes with leather and rubber straps that can be swapped without tools.
