Aesthetic balance and technical details The new watch has gone through several months of aesthetic polishing. It is committed to combining the precise moon phase and retrograde calendar display in a sporty and elegant case to ensure clear reading while It has a harmonious overall layout. In order to realize this combination of complex functions, the first challenge to be solved is to integrate the brand’s iconic classic complex function-retrograde calendar display into a watch that upholds the spirit of sports. For this reason, the watchmaker chose to indicate the date with a blue retrograde pointer. Then it is necessary to explore how to introduce the moon phase display in the timepiece without affecting its sporty style.
The new Overseas moon phase retrograde calendar watch realizes the rare combination of these two complex functions. It promotes the fusion of exquisite skills and aesthetic style, and reinterprets the brand’s iconic retrograde display function in a very innovative way. In the retrograde calendar display, the indicator does not travel along the circumference of the dial. When the indicator scale is full, it will instantly jump back to the starting point and start a new round of travel time. The construction of this mechanism must be extremely precise and rigorous, especially to avoid vibration and wear. The aesthetic style and technical specifications of the Overseas series are thus continued by the new timepieces that give a new interpretation to this device. Discount cheap watches

The Origin of Across the World
The famous 222 watch, this sports watch with a water resistance of 120 meters, was the inspiration for the Overseas series, which first came out in 1996. Adhering to the spirit of travel and exploration and an open attitude to the world, this watch series with exquisite craftsmanship has become the iconic masterpiece of Vacheron Constantin once it was launched, and its aesthetic design has also kept pace with the times. , This year is also the year when Vacheron Constantin’s new factory was established and opened. This series first launched a metal chain belt decorated with the brand logo Maltese cross shape. In 2016, Vacheron Constantin celebrated the 260th anniversary of the birth of the brand. The new Overseas series watches engraved with the Geneva mark came out, and the bottom cover of the original carved three-dimensional sailboat was replaced with a transparent bottom cover. Most of the third edition of Overseas are equipped with self-made movement.
Let me talk about the history of the original 222 Jumbo watch: 1977 is the 222nd anniversary of Vacheron Constantin. The 222 Jumbo watch conceived by the famous Swiss watch designer Jorg Hysek was launched in that year. After the “Big Mac”, the 222 wristwear successively launched 34 and 24 mm styles. The 222 watch was produced in limited quantities until production was discontinued in 1985. The elegant and sporty 222 Jumbo watch marks the first important milestone of VACHERON CONSTANTIN in the field of sports fashion watches!
But before Vacheron Constantin launched the 222 watch in 1977, Vacheron Constantin had already launched two sports-style watches, which also became the source of inspiration for the 222 watch. The first was in 1963. Vacheron Constantin launched the first timepiece specially designed to adapt to the changing pace of work and life at that time – the Turnograph watch with reference number 6782. Named for the bidirectional rotating bezel with 15-minute interval scale. Despite its relatively short production period, the watch’s bar-shaped hands and bar-shaped hour markers have become quite eye-catching; in 1975, the brand interpreted urban timepieces for the first time, launching the Chronomètre Royal Royal Observatory watch with reference number 42001. The unique case shape is matched with a slightly curved octagonal bezel. This is Vacheron Constantin’s first stainless steel watch with an integrated bracelet, opening up a new vision of the brand’s watchmaking style. Two years later, the 222 watch designed by Jorg Hysek continued the essence of these two aesthetics, designed in a contemporary style, showing the inherent elegance and subtle details of Vacheron Constantin timepieces.
