PRECISION AND RESILIENCE
Further, higher, and stronger, such could be the maxim of this timepiece designed to resist extreme situations and to be present at your side wherever you choose to go.
After accompanying the mountain climber Cory Richard on the precipitous slopes of the Himalayas in 2019 with a prototype crafted for exploring under extreme conditions, Vacheron Constantin is offering a limited series taking on the characteristics of this watch. Hence, the Overseas Chronograph “Everest”, edited in only 150 specimens, features a blue-gray dial with a grained finish on which ultra-legible time information is displayed. The hour and minute hands, as well as the markers, are coated with white Super-Luminova® with blue cast. Reading the time is made easy thanks to the orange color applied to the swift second hand and the hands of the sub-dials. A small second-hand at 9 o’clock and a date at 4.30 complete the data. The sporty-chic allure of this scenography, water-resistant to 150 meters, is reinforced by the gray tones of the 42.5mm diameter steel and titanium casing.
Technical and aesthetic, this robust casing houses the 5200/2 caliber. This self-winding mechanism provides over 50 hours of power reserve. Its pink oscillating weight stands out for its engraved representation of the Roof of the World that can be admired through the sapphire backing of the case.
The excellent quality of this timepiece is certified by the Poinçon de Genève. This model is worn with a choice of a Corduda® textile strap lined with nubuck calf leather or gray rubber. Both can be easily switched without the use of a tool.
