The Replica Vacheron Constantin Overseas Tourbillon High Jewelery will be one of the latest luxury watchmaking innovations that we will see in 2023. In this masterpiece, white gold meets for the first time the emblematic blue dial of the line, embellished with 60 baguette-cut diamonds on the bezel hexagonal and 9 on the indexes. Powered by the caliber 2160, an ultra-thin in-house tourbillon, this timepiece with sporty and precious lines boasts three different styles thanks to the interchangeable straps, among which the integrated white gold bracelet with folding clasp stands out.
Baguette cut diamonds
The 60 baguette-cut diamonds that embellish the hexagonal bezel and the 9 that adorn the indexes represent an absolute novelty for the Overseas collection.
This elongated gem with 25 facets enhances the square lines of the model, adding a touch of refined elegance. The flat surface and sharp edges of the baguette-cut diamonds create a contrast with the soft curves of the 42.5mm white gold case. A detail that embellishes the satin blue dial, a true icon of Overseas watches.
Ultra-flat design
The slim silhouette is made possible by the caliber 2160, a self-winding mechanical movement with a tourbillon just 5.65mm thick, developed and produced entirely in-house. The 22-karat gold peripheral rotor, in addition to guaranteeing excellent efficiency with 80 hours of power reserve, allows the total thickness of the watch to be limited to 10.39mm despite the tourbillon complication.
The transparency of the sapphire crystal caseback allows you to admire the careful finishing of the caliber 2160: the pearlized mainplate, the bridges with the Côtes de Genève motif, the tourbillon bar and the chamfered and hand-polished screws. A micromechanical masterpiece with 188 components that beats at 18,000 vibrations per hour, activating the minute and hour hands as well as the small seconds traced by the tourbillon cage.
Three Silos in one
Thanks to the system of interchangeable straps and buckles without the use of tools, typical of the collection, the Overseas Tourbillon Alta Gioielleria can dress up three different styles. The integrated white gold bracelet with a polished and satin-finished link design gives it a more austere look.
The blue rubber strap and the white gold buckle with 16 diamonds give it a sporty look. Finally, the blue calfskin strap combined with the same embellished buckle conveys a more classic elegance.
Opinions
With the new Overseas Tourbillon High Jewellery, Vacheron Constantin combines sportiness and preciousness: the white gold case with baguette-cut diamonds combines with the ultra-flat tourbillon movement, for a luxurious timepiece with three interchangeable faces.
