The Overseas collection, designed for sports enthusiasts and adventurers, now welcomes two new limited-edition models: the Overseas Chronograph Everest and the Overseas Dual Time Everest, each produced in a limited run of 150 pieces, pushing the boundaries of design. Inspired by prototypes developed during photographer and adventurer Cory Richards' 2019 expedition to Everest, these models celebrate adventure and the achievement of surpassing one's limits.

A Unique Combination of Stainless Steel and Titanium!

From Vacheron Constantin's most sporty collection, Overseas, emerge two new limited-edition models with a stunning aesthetic: the Overseas Chronograph Everest and the Overseas Dual Time Everest. These two powerful and bold designs draw inspiration from prototypes developed during photographer and adventurer Cory Richards' third expedition to Everest in 2019.

The 42.5mm case of the Chronograph and the 41mm case of the Dual Time are crafted from a unique combination of lightweight yet robust titanium and stainless steel, offering a sophisticated sheen. Contrasting with this refined look and further enhancing its appeal are the interchangeable rubber straps and the Cordura fabric straps with calfskin nubuck lining.
The bezel is notably adorned with six design elements reminiscent of the Maltese cross. The case masterfully combines titanium and stainless steel, employing them strategically to express a powerful and distinctive style. While titanium, a light, strong, and corrosion-resistant metal, is used for the case, bezel, pushers, and their guards, different finishes are applied. The case features a satin-brushed finish, the pushers a polished finish, and the bezel, crown, and pusher guards receive a bead-blasted finish to match the dial's grain.
Vibrant orange accents on the dial create a dynamic harmony with the orange stitching on the Cordura strap. This strap, designed for versatile elegance, features an interchangeable system. The included Cordura or rubber straps can be easily swapped without tools, allowing for a change in style to suit the mood or occasion.
The lightweight and multi-functional Overseas Chronograph Everest is equipped with a chronograph mechanism highly valued by sports enthusiasts and outdoor adventurers. Suitable for both expeditions and daily life, it complements any situation. The 42.5mm case features a striking contrast between titanium and stainless steel, while the dial's balanced layout ensures optimal legibility for all chronograph indications, further enhanced by the orange accent on the central chronograph seconds hand. The precise and reliable self-winding Caliber 5200/2 powers this timepiece. This in-house movement boasts twin barrels, a column wheel to control the chronograph's start, stop, and reset functions, and a vertical clutch to prevent the seconds hand from jumping when starting the chronograph.
The Overseas Dual Time Everest perfectly blends high performance with sophisticated style, offering features useful for world travelers and seasoned adventurers.
The 41mm case, combining titanium and stainless steel, houses the in-house Caliber 5110 DT/2 movement. This caliber allows for simultaneous display of two time zones: local time is indicated by the standard central hand, while home time is shown by a fourth hand, distinguished by an orange triangular tip. The accompanying day/night indicator also features an orange accent, and the pointer-type date display at 6 o'clock is synchronized with local time. Adjustments for both time zones, displayed in 12-hour format, can be made by operating the crown in either direction.
The movement plates of the Overseas Chronograph Everest and Overseas Dual Time Everest feature an NAC treatment that matches the distinctive anthracite grey tone of these models, lending them a contemporary aesthetic. Furthermore, the 22K pink gold oscillating weight is engraved with a motif of Everest, inspired by photographs taken by Cory Richards during his Himalayan expeditions.
Inspired by the ascent of the world's highest peak, these timepieces celebrate adventure and the act of surpassing one's limits. The Overseas collection, a symbol of the spirit of exploration and discovery, reaches new heights of elegance and fortitude with these models, imbued with a true sporting soul.
