Blue Dial---Vacheron Constantin Overseas Chronograph

For 2012 we obtain one having a lovely blue dial - making a pleasant contrast with either the steel or rose gold case in quite the regal manner. Blue called steel sport watches are often observed, however they aren't bad searching whatsoever. Personally nowhere color Vacheron Constantin uses is vibrant and cheerful, with no cheesy electric vibes.

The Overseas models always intrigued me just like a strange purebred cat that did not always possess a need to appear in character, however, you appreciate them nevertheless. Using its rather strong anti-magnetic case qualities and curious "150 meters" of water resistance combined inside a thick steel case, however it comes with all those Maltese Mix elements and historic Vacheron Constantin title around the dial. 

The bracelet is made to seem like Maltese Mix logos stacked on the top of each other. A minimum of someone had the knowledge to not incorporate a tachymeter scale around the dial. Screw-lower pushers for that chronograph would be the last hint the Overseas has simply no desire to appear towards the same parties as Vacheron Constantin Patrimony collection pieces.

The 42mm wide case is offered wide lugs to have an ample wrist stance. The dimension seamless comfort and wears bigger than say a conventional Audemars Piguet Royal Oak or Patek Philippe Nautilus. The bezel using its polished Maltese Mix-like design will either suit your needs draw attention away from you. The case is really very nicely made. Good detailing having a lot of wonderful beveling and finishing. It is not just attractive but around the wrist it's comfortable. 

The dial of the Overseas Chronograph along with other Overseas models is straightforward in comparison towards the design of the case. It is not bad, however it does not excite me on the chemical level. Simultaneously the dial is extremely effective and quite legible. There's just as much Omega Speedmaster DNA within this dial as there's almost 300 many years of watch making history.

Inside of the Vacheron Constantin Overseas Chronograph with Blue Dial may be the caliber 1137 automatic chronograph movement that is a base Frederic Piguet. That is not an in-house made movement, which for many people defeats the objective of obtaining a Vacheron Constantin within the first place. F. Piguet is nevertheless the high-end movement making division (also known as Blancpain Manufacture) of the Swatch Group. 

Let alone the Richemont Group is the owner of Vacheron Constantin, but F. Piguet movements are pretty nice absolutely nothing to complain about. This is among just one or two presently made Vacheron watches using the caliber 1137 movement within it.
