Haute News: Vacheron Constantin Unveils A New 35mm Self-winding Overseas to Mark Its Latest “One of Not Many” Campaign

We’re currently on the ground in Iceland with Vacheron Constantin as the news breaks, revealing the new 35mm self-winding Overseas. And while this timepiece is certainly a beauty and a perfect addition to the Overseas collection, dressed in the opulence of pink gold, from case to bracelet, it also tells a story.

The 35mm self-winding Overseas is not just a watch; it represents the essence of the “One of not Many” campaign, a collaboration between Vacheron Constantin and the talented artist and explorer Zaria Forman. Forman’s work is a testament to her dedication to exploring remote locations in nature, specifically Iceland, capturing their beauty at that point in time. As I listened to Forman briefly touch upon her works last evening, it immediately drew the parallel to Vacheron Constantin’s unwavering commitment to designing products that are inspired by the “anatomy of beauty.”

This timepiece exudes a radiant personality, highlighted by its monochromatic design that plays with the warm reflections of pink gold, both in its case and bracelet. The dial, adorned with a sunburst satin-brushed finish and coated with transparent lacquer, radiates with a harmonious tone-on-tone brilliance that captivates the eye. A total of 90 diamonds, meticulously set on the six-sided bezel resembling the iconic Maltese cross, adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to the watch’s slim cuff-like profile.

The versatility of the Overseas self-winding watch is truly remarkable, as it comes equipped with an interchangeable bracelet and buckle system, offering two additional straps: a white calf leather strap for a more dressed-up, elegant feel and a white rubber strap for a sportier look.

Beyond its appearance, the Overseas self-winding model houses a movement that guarantees exemplary reliability. Caliber 1088/1, the beating heart of this timepiece, comprises 144 components and operates at a frequency of 4 Hz, ensuring precise timekeeping. The inclusion of a stop-second mechanism enables accurate adjustments of time functions, a testament to Vacheron Constantin’s commitment to precision. The movement also boasts a generous 40-hour power reserve, ensuring that you stay on time, no matter where your adventures take you.

A work of art from the inside out, the back of the  Overseas self-winding features the meticulously decorated open caseback. The rear bridges feature exquisite Côtes de Genève, showcasing the brand’s dedication to craftsmanship. The emblematic rotor, sculpted in gold and adorned with a compass rose, adds a touch of wanderlust, evoking the spirit of travel and exploration.

As Vacheron Constantin collaborates with artist Zaria Forman in the “One of not Many” campaign, this timepiece emerges as a shining example of the fusion between the world of high watchmaking and art.
