Autumn 2021
The 150-piece limited editions are: Overseas chronograph “Everest” and Overseas dual time “Everest”.
Inspired by a prototype developed by Vacheron Constantin in 2019 to accompany adventure photographer Cory Richards on his third expedition to the "roof of the world", they are distinguished by a powerful and bold design.
Available in a diameter of 42.5 mm for the chronograph version and 41 mm for the dual time interpretation, the case combines the lightness and robustness of titanium with the shimmering gleam of stainless steel. This sophisticated look, brimming with contrasts, is paired with a self- interchangeable rubber or Cordura strap lined with nubuck calfskin.
On the technical side, the chronograph model is equipped with self-winding Calibre 5200/2, while the dual time model opts for self-winding Calibre 5110 DT/2. These two in-house movements feature an extremely contemporary anthracite grey NAC treatment. Setting a signature touch, their 22K pink gold oscillating weight is adorned with an engraving of Mount Everest inspired by a photograph taken by Richards.
Overseas chronograph Everest: This light and versatile watch opts for the horological complication much appreciated by sports enthusiasts and outdoor activity lovers by offering chronograph functions. Equally suited to adventure and everyday challenges, this edition is at home in every situation. Its 42.5 mm case features a contrasting combination of titanium and stainless steel, while its harmoniously dial composition ensures optimal legibility of the chronograph indications, particularly thanks to the bright orange colour of its central chronograph hand.
Overseas dual time Everest: This watch is an open travel invitation. Directly inspired by the prototype built to accompany Richards on his latest ascent of the ‘roof of the world’, this timepiece provides all the functions useful to globetrotters and experienced explorers.
At the heart of its 41 mm case, carved from a combination of titanium and stainless steel, the watch opts for the in-house self-winding 5110 DT/2 movement enabling simultaneous reading of two time zones.
