An Homage to Vintage Style with a Modern Twist
The Overseas Panda Chronograph also illustrates Vacheron Constantin’s commitment to tradition and innovation. The “Panda” moniker refers to the beautiful white dial with opposing black sub-dials, an aesthetic favored in the 1960s and 70s. This two-tone look not only offers excellent readability but also a vivid sporty look.
Made from stainless steel, the 42.5mm case is stylish and robust in equal measure. Thickness: 13.7mm. It feels comfortable on the wrist without feeling too bulky. The hexagonal LED bezel, inspired by the Maltese Cross, reaffirms the emblematic nature of the Overseas collection.
Great mechanics under the bonnet
Powering the Overseas Panda Chronograph is the in-house, automatic Caliber 5200, which is made up 263 components. This self-winding chrono movement vibrates at 28,800 per hour and delivers a power reserve of 52 hours for accuracy and rugged performance on any given day or special night.
Stability is further improved thanks to the twin-barrel design and a column-wheel device ensures precision when using the chronograph. Finished to the most exacting standards, every part inside is visible through the clear sapphire crystal case back. Vacheron Constantin also follows the Hallmark of Geneva that guarantees the quality of the movement.
Versatility in Every Strap
One thing that is widely appreciated about the Overseas is its quick-c hange strap system. It also offers three strap choices available to go with the Panda Chronograph: a steel then bracelet a black rubber strap as well as a black calfskin leather strap. This makes it an incredibly versatile watch that you could wear with a suit one day and then wear with a t-shirt and jeans or for sports the next.
Straps can be easily replaced without any tools, a detail that underscores practicality in addition to luxury. Every new strap looks different in combination with the panda dial and produces a complete new look.
Built for the World Traveller
Designed for the modern-day explorer, the Overseas collection follows suit with the Panda Chronograph. Ready for anything between a business trip and a yacht trip, the watch has 150 meters of water resistance, an anti-magnetic soft iron inner ring, and a rugged construction. The soul of Swiss horology in a post-modern, globalized world.
A rare treat for savvy collectors
The Vacheron Constantin Overseas Panda Chronograph is more than a wrist watch – it screams taste, style and horological savoir faire. With a quantity that is limited and a manufacture that is exquisite, it is bound to achieve the regard of collectors who transcend the pursuit of mensurative temperament and aesthetic performance.
