Vacheron Constantin Overseas Gray

The color gray has always been used to describe something to the negative. Think about it..."skies are gray!" Everyone is afraid to get "old and gray", etc... Vacheron Constantin would like to change your perception of the color with a new slate gray look to the brand's sports watch, the Overseas Gray watch line. The Overseas collection has been a bit of a departure from the classic, more conservative watch company. From its textured dial to its overall divers heritage. This new Gray lineup continues that lineage and is a real beauty to look at.The monochromatic tonalities of this collection are based on a design from the thirty's, which has been re-interpreted by VC several times in the past.

There are 2 versions available, an automatic and an automatic chronograph, both 42mm, housing an automatic Vacheron Constantin caliber 1226 and 1137 respectively. Titanium bezels and mouse gray straps finish off the look for these pieces. Pricing on both of these will be released shortly.
