When we think of the outstanding names in the luxury horology world, one name tops our list—Vacheron Constantin. With is famed reputation in innovative thinking and unwavering dedication to manufacturing lavish timepieces in the world, the Swiss manufacturer has long been recognised as the hallmark of fine watches.

Here, we take a look at five reasons why the famed watchmaker’s two latest creations—Overseas Ultra-Thin and Overseas Ultra-Thin Perpetual Calendar—are our current hot favourites—and soon to be yours, too.

They’ll make heads turn
Thanks to the manufacture’s splendid choice in materials, standing out from the crowd with these timepieces is easy. The two models are fitted with 18k white gold bracelets and cases to exude a timeless yet modern appeal. So why settle for a design that’ll look unfashionable in a few years’ time when you can get these refuse-to-age and still look as stylish many years later since you first laid eyes on them?

They’re super slim, obviously
Business meetings, date nights and overseas trips—these occasions call for a subtler and less chunky watch. The Overseas Ultra-Thin Perpetual Calendar is 41.50mm wide and 8.1mm thick while the Overseas Ultra-Thin is 40mm wide and 7.5mm thick. Their smaller sizes also mean that if you decide to not wear a watch at any time of the day, you can conveniently keep them in your pocket or bag.

The straps are interchangeable
Just like clothes, having one watch is not going to suit all the different events that we have in our schedules. That’s why Vacheron Constantin has thoughtfully created the watches with interchangeable straps. There are three options available: 18k white gold bracelet for formal meetings, hand-stitched dark grey Mississipiensis alligator leather that looks sophisticated for a dinner date, and a black rubber variant for your off-days and weekends.

They have beautiful faces
When it comes to watches, the thing that you’ll probably look at the most will be their dials so it doesn’t hurt to have a handsome face to look at. Both the Overseas Ultra-Thin Perpetual Calendar and Overseas Ultra-Thin feature an elegant translucent grey-lacquered dial and sunburst satin-finished base. The former also comes with blue accents, creating a starkly juxtaposed effect on the design that’ll get watch aficionados excited.
