THE TRAVELLERS' GOLD STANDARD

Fresh from the triumph of its 270th anniversary collection, Vacheron Constantin adds two exceptional interpretations to the Overseas Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin line.

When Vacheron Constantin unveiled its 270th anniversary collection earlier this year, it felt like a definitive moment, the kind of milestone that caps a remarkable chapter. Yet, in true Vacheron style, the maison has followed that triumph not with silence, but with something equally compelling: two new Overseas Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin models. It's a move that signals both confidence and momentum.

Since its launch in 1996, the Overseas collection has been Vacheron Constantin’s expression of modern sporting elegance, inspired by the maison's Maltese cross emblem and imbued with the spirit of travel. Over the decades, it has evolved into a benchmark for versatility, offering watches that can transition from black-tie soirées to far-flung adventures with a simple change of strap. The Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin, introduced in 2016, took that ethos to new heights, marrying the technical gravitas of a perpetual calendar with the streamlined elegance of an 8.1mm case.

These latest releases—one in warm pink gold with a matching dial, the other in cool white gold with a burgundy lacquer dial—demonstrate how nuanced design and mechanical mastery can create two very different moods within the same silhouette.
