The Vacheron Constantin Overseas Limited Editions Everest was ‘inspired by the prototype watch worn by Usa explorer and photographer Cory Richards during his ascent of Mount Everest’. The actual Maison offers two limited-edition models, the aptly named Overseas dual time Everest and the Overseas Chronograph Everest. Each model is situated in a combination of titanium as well as steel and also cleverly plays with different colours and designs.
In 1977, Vacheron Constantin Overseas Everest unveiled the actual 222, intended to mark the particular brand’s 222nd anniversary. The particular model stolen into the horological zeitgeist of the 70s with its steel case, integrated bracelet and luxury sports watch remit. At the time, the Audemars Piguet Regal Oak, IWC Ingenieur SL and Patek Philippe Nautilus were all designed by Gérald Genta, however , Vacheron Constantin bucked the excitement, entrusting the design of the 222 to a young Jörg Hysek.
Notable features included typically the crenellated bezel and a Maltese Cross situated the bottom right corner of the case. The Vacheron Constantin 222 continued in service until 1985. Today, examples of the watch attract feverish activity within the auction house scene along with resale prices can only be described as eye-watering.
The 222 was the iniciador of the Abroad model, first launched in 1996. The International doffed its hat to the 222, but appeared more refined. Typically the 3-rows steel bracelet featured a central row of recessed links, the hour markers were more intricate, incorporating many facets, often the bezel retained the crenellated design however was simpler and less unsettled.
In my opinion, the current Vacheron Constantin Overseas Everest model (‘reinvented’ in 2016) is the most attractive version to date. Today’s home owners wearer is indulged with a choice of metal or gold options. Smaller case sizes, gem-set bezels and quartz models on purpose target the exact ladies’ market. The Manufacture also offers automatic three-handers having a date display, dual time models, a world timer, several chronographs, ultra-thin perpetual calendars (some in skeleton form) and even tourbillons.
Put simply, the first Overseas style of 1996 has transitioned into an über-luxurious, sublime expression of the making of watch. However , is the Overseas still a sports watch? Personally, I think it is too sophisticated for such a utilitarian role. Indeed, a number of references bear the Poinçon de Genève, the Genevan hallmark located on some of the finest expressions associated with Haute Horlogerie.
In 2019, Vacheron Constantin produced an Overseas double time modele for the North american explorer in addition to photographer Cory Richards. Often the intrepid manager wore the watch whilst undertaking his third ascent regarding Everest via the North-East Ridge. Unusually, the case from the prototype was performed of titanium and tantalum. Moreover, the very bespoke situation featured two crowns, shielded by robust protectors. After Mr Richards completed his mountainous makes use of, his view was sold by Philips for $106, 250 with the proceeds going to charity.
Now, the historical Maison offers unveiled 2 new versions inspired by Cory Richard’s prototype enjoy, the aptly named Vacheron Constantin Foreign Limited Updates Everest. The first model may be the Overseas twin time Everest, presented in a 41mm ti and iron case. The exact inventory involving functions includes hours, minutes, central sweep seconds, GMT hand, day/night indicator (home time) plus pointer date (local time). The movement is similar to the standard Overseas Dual Time (Calibre 5110 DT), except the main Manufacture provides applied NAC treatment towards the bridges and the rotor now sports a good Everest engraving, hence the movement is known as the Calibre 5110 DT/2.
The second product is the In a different country Chronograph Everest. The forty two. 5mm circumstance, once again, is actually executed within titanium and even stainless steel. The very in-house La mecanique 5200/2 will be identical for the ‘regular’ version’s Calibre 5200, save for the aforementioned NAC treatment together with Everest decoration.

Both models are limited by 150 pieces each and come supplied on a grey Cordura fabric strap embellished with ebullient orange sewing. The versions also feature a grey-blue grained dial as well as carry the actual emblem in the prestigious Poinçon de Genève on their cases and movements.
While I accept the Vacheron Constantin Offshore Limited Features Everest had been ‘inspired by the prototype used by National explorer’, I hope the 300 fortunate souls who own one of these types look after their gorgeous timepieces. Indeed, to subject this type of paragon connected with fine horological industry to harsh temperatures and also multiple shocks is sacrilegious to say the least.
Vacheron Constantin Internationally Everest possesses skillfully used different colors and forme to differentiate these new models from their older siblings. Indeed, these Everest models look much more sporty, the characteristic that diminished when the Overseas was updated inside 2016 and also the collection began having elocution lessons. I remain hot for the ‘regular’ Overseas collection, however , if the Vacheron Constantin Overseas Restricted Editions Everest are a foretaste of what is to come, then I look forward to seeing further variants.
