How about Vacheron Constantin series?

Vacheron Constantin's universal series focuses on high-end sports watches, stainless steel bracelets, a case over 40mm, and also comes from the bezel design of the Maltese Cross, which has a sense of sports chronograph. The name of his watch, whether in English or Chinese, has the temperament of "wandering around the world", which is very suitable for the young generation with vigor and ambition.

20 18 Horizon Four Seas series has just launched two new black watches, an automatic watch with a calendar and a chronograph, which enrich the color matching of the dial. The chronograph of "panda-proof disk" has a trace of retro charm, which is very in line with the aesthetic pursuit of watches at present and is expected to be very popular.

Although it was born nearly 20 years later than Royal Oak and Nautilus, it has become the top three traditional high-end sports watches like them.

In fact, the predecessor of this series is the number "222", which was also born in the 1970s and was one of the luxurious stainless steel sports watches at that time. The Maltese cross in the lower right corner of this old watch is particularly beautiful and domineering. I want to have it.

Vacheron Constantin travels all over the world, and he will definitely think of Patek Philippe Nautilus and Audemars Piguet Royal Oak. They are like the top three students in academic performance, and they are always regarded as good role models by teachers, even if they are completely competitors.

Stainless steel nautilus is now in full swing. The primary market of 57 1 1 and 57 12 was out of stock, and the price of the secondary market soared. This is also Patek Philippe's strategy. After all, Nautilus has just made a few models, and it has formed the effect of hunger marketing.

Needless to say, when the Royal Oak was in full swing, Audemars Piguet launched a tougher offshore version of the Royal Oak, which has become the first choice for young people with tough hearts in the past two decades.

In recent years, on the one hand, Audemars Piguet has launched Royal Oak and offshore series of colorful watches, aiming at the young people market; On the other hand, Audemars Piguet also launched the Royal Oak concept watch sub-series. Under this line, some avant-garde and modern watches in technology, materials and design have been launched as a test for the future.

At this year's SIHH, Vacheron Constantin launched a brand-new "Lu Wu Wisdom" series. From the name, Vacheron Constantin hopes that this new series will become the first choice for the younger generation to enter the world of advanced watchmaking, just like other countries.

This series of watches has two remarkable features:

First, luxury sports style.

On the one hand, this is determined by the brand grade, and Vacheron Constantin is a top watch brand. On the other hand, the prices of these watches are also very expensive. The so-called sports style is just a style. For some sports, especially some strenuous sports, you can't really wear them. Many expensive watches are very delicate. This style has some similar styles in the same brand, such as Patek Philippe Nautilus and Blancpain 50? , Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, etc.

This is a Vacheron Constantin 4500 V/110A-B128 watch. This watch is equipped with an automatic mechanical movement, the case is made of stainless steel, and it is equipped with a hand-sewn crocodile leather strap lined with black cowhide, which can be replaced by a blue check. With date display function, diameter 4 1mm, waterproof 65438.

The second is more "wild".

Although it is called a sports style watch, that is to say, it can be matched with some sports and leisure styles, but it can also be matched with a formal business style because of the characteristics of the watch shape, so it is said to be "versatile". Some sports styles of other brands also have this feature, such as Rolex Water Ghost, Omega Seahorse, Patek Philippe Nautilus and Audemars piguet Royal Oak.

Vacheron Constantin's universal series can be said to be an extremely rare example of a successful sports watch among top watches. Its origin began in the 1970 s, but it was not until the revival of mechanical watches that top sports watches really had a market. This situation is not only for Vacheron Constantin, but also for all Swiss watch factories. Instead of arguing about who was the earliest creator of the top fine steel watches, let's see whose top brand sports watches are popular with watch fans. Vacheron Constantin's dial configuration is the first choice for traditional large and complicated menus. Except the gain and loss of the moon phase, they are all expressed by hand. If the calendar function is achieved, it will not be too complicated. However, after adding the timing function, the four circles on the dial will be a bit crowded. But for many fans of basic teaching, watches with such dials are called large and complicated menus. Smooth and resolute case lines, Maltese cross bezel, chronograph crown, screw lock button, and bottom cover with the famous Amerigo Vespucci sloop pattern are all its iconic features.

Formal dress and sports are often difficult to reconcile, but Vacheron Constantin's overseas series shows a subtle sense of balance, especially the chronograph. Vacheron Constantin's heritage in sports watches can be traced back to 1930 s, and the brand has accumulated profound professional skills, so it can create a sturdy and elegant timepiece. The previous generation of overseas chronographs is a strong proof. After five years of movement research and development, Vacheron Constantin chose to launch a brand-new overseas series on the 20 16 SIHH, including the chronograph with 5200 movement.

The overseas series began at 1996, successfully combining advanced technology with traditional aesthetics and adopting a highly recognizable fixed bezel. This series is made for the most adventurous global travelers. Whenever I see an overseas chronograph, I think its owner should be an extraordinary warrior who dares to sail alone. This watch is luxurious, tough and reliable, which is more than enough to cope with various environments in daily life. Of course, this does not include hot spring spa.

Overseas chronographs are available in fine steel and rose gold. Its shell is 42.5 mm in diameter and 13.7 mm in thickness ... fine steel version can choose silver dial or bright blue dial style, and Rose Gold version is only equipped with silver dial. 20 16 all new overseas watches have been stamped with Geneva, Poin? About Geneva) certification.

The dial layout of this work is very concise and clear, and it also contains rich details. There is a small second hand at 9 o'clock, a 30-minute cumulative chronograph at 3 o'clock and a 12-hour cumulative chronograph at 6 o'clock. After canceling the big date window of the previous generation, the overseas chronograph equipped with 5200 movement set a standard date window at 4: 30, which achieved excellent readability with the design of black characters on a white background. Although the overall appearance of the new work is very similar to that of the previous work, Vacheron Constantin has no plans to completely stop production at present.

Compared with the previous work, the new overseas chronograph is more exquisite. The core temperament of the whole series has not changed much, and Vacheron Constantin only vividly depicts it with fewer strokes. I really like the simpler layout, finer hour scale and track minute scale in the new work. Its overall proportion is very harmonious, although the surface is calm, but it still makes people feel its extraordinary characteristics, which is particularly prominent in the fine steel edition.

The blue painted dial is also very attractive, showing a navy tone in dark light and a bright and rich dark blue in bright environment. The scales and hands are decorated with luminous coatings, and the sports style of this work is the most prominent after being equipped with a rubber strap.

In addition to a little improvement in appearance, the most important upgrade of this work lies in the brand-new 5200 movement. This self-winding guide post wheel chronograph movement runs at the rate of 4Hz and can provide 52 hours of power storage. From the sapphire crystal window on the back of the watch, you can see the 5200 movement at a glance, and Vacheron Constantin is equipped with an automatic winding rod of 22K gold as usual. The overall waterproof depth of the watch is 150 meters, and the 90-degree twist lock mechanism adopted by the timer button provides a strong guarantee for the sports style and waterproof performance of this work.

After you get started, you will obviously feel the visual pleasure of wandering between sports and classic styles. Many of its exquisite details give people the impression of a formal watch, while the shape, weight and hands-on effect of this work reveal unparalleled confidence and toughness. It is worth mentioning that overseas chronographs are not only equipped with a variety of watchbands, but also convenient for users to replace watchbands and buckles without tools. Different from Apple Watch, overseas chronographs adopt an exclusive ear mechanism and a special strap.

When connecting any attached strap, you can see a small metal buckle from the back edge of the case (refer to the picture above). Once pressed, the strap will automatically separate. You can change into another strap in ten seconds, without professional tools, without any risk of scratching, and the watch changes instantly.

Fine steel edition of overseas chronograph is equipped with fine steel bracelet and rubber leather strap, while Rose Gold Edition is only equipped with the latter two. For rubber and leather watchbands, users can easily remove them by folding a simple tension lock structure. As long as the strap edge is rotated 360 degrees in the opposite direction of tension, the folding buckle will automatically loosen; As for the fine steel bracelet, users can also adjust its length by themselves, and the bracelet can be extended by two to four millimeters by gently pulling the link next to the clasp.

As an important product line of Vacheron Constantin, the brand-new overseas series is really exciting. With the brand-new self-winding chronograph movement, thoughtful dial design and exquisite strap replacement system (not to mention extra spare straps).

Hello, I'm Chen Xin. I'm glad to answer your question. Next, I will talk about a cousin's experience of traveling around the world, customized, 10 yuan per month. On a rare weekend, two people went shopping together. I accidentally walked into Vacheron Constantin and saw a new generation of blue discs in the world. The main reason is that the touch of blue is too eye-catching It was only at that moment that I came into contact with the black watch and rekindled my desire for the watch.

I hurried out and had to go home first. After consulting with my wife, she thought I was ugly and asked me why I took such a watch. After online tutoring, I feel that the development of the world today is really not easy, and I have always maintained the original feelings of men for watches.

I didn't listen to her this time. A force drove me straight to the last store. As a result, I hesitated for a few days, and people have already booked it. I'm still unwilling, so I have to ask where I used to play watches. As a result, there was a customized version, so I took one.

After not seeing the real thing, I felt uneasy. After I got it, I finally felt relieved. Exquisite workmanship, polished everywhere.

After wearing it, I was deeply impressed by its atmosphere. It feels good to show it to my wife, and I'm happy to see her attitude change.

This watch made me confident again when I was in my thirties, because I have been influenced by the saying that "men will travel all over the world". I hope I can always do this and keep a man's domineering at all times.

▲ Overseas series ultra-thin perpetual calendar watches

(Rose gold case, launched on 20 18)

In the hip-hop circle of Fulu, there are several small windows of Lao Liu for secondary watches. I said I wanted to choose between Vacheron Constantin's new ultra-thin perpetual calendar and chronograph, but I didn't know which one to choose. Let me give it to the staff.

Needless to say, the overall design style of these two watches, the details from the new vertical and horizontal settings make them full of the expression of travel spirit, and the iconic quick release strap is also the "standard" of these two models. What I really want to say is the characteristics of these two watches.

▲ Overseas series ultra-thin perpetual calendar watches

(Platinum case, launched on 20 16)

Vacheron Constantin's ultra-thin perpetual calendar is a wrist watch with a slightly business style in sports. The layout of the classic four-auxiliary calendar itself reveals a formal style. With three different styles of straps, the slightly serious business style in the traditional impression will suddenly come alive. The same ultra-thin self-made perpetual calendar movement 1 120QP/ 1 makes the thickness of the whole watch very well controlled, and the data of 8. 1 mm can be stuffed into the cuffs of formal shirts, which is very comfortable and durable to wear.

▲ Overseas Timekeeping Series (launched on 20 18)

As for the other watch, Vacheron Constantin is a chronograph watch. This action is very good. The configuration of the column wheel and vertical clutch of Cal.5200 makes the watch's timing structure very durable, and the second hand will not shake at the beginning of timing, which is reliable and durable. What is even more exciting is the disc design of this watch. The inverted panda disk with large black dial and white auxiliary disk exudes classical charm, adding a classic retro sense of the times to the traditional sports style of chronograph. Coupled with the changes of three kinds of straps, there is nothing more suitable for travel.

There are three steel watch kings in the top watchmaking industry, namely Patek Philippe Nautilus, Audemars Piguet Royal Oak and Vacheron Constantin. In the past, Nautilus and Royal Oak were the most talked about. Talking to you about Vacheron Constantin's world today is indeed a very domineering name.

Compared with Nautilus and Royal Oak, the world was born a little later. Vacheron Constantin officially launched the universal watch in 1996, but its predecessor was the historical watch "222" dating back to 1977. Jorg Hysek, an apprentice of watchmaking genius Zunda, designed this watch called "222" to celebrate the 222nd anniversary of Vacheron Constantin's founding. Note that 222 was designed by Zunda's apprentice, not Zunda himself.

However, because the sales volume was too bleak, 222 was finally discontinued, but Vacheron Constantin introduced "333" and "phidias" one after another, but the results were the same, both of which were discontinued.

Zong Sihai, born in 1996, is a watch style inspired by "222", "333" and "Phiduas". This is the first generation living in the four seas, and you can see the very familiar Maltese cross shape on it.

In fact, what we see today is the third generation of products (launched on 20 16), and the evolution from generation to generation has only appeared what we are familiar with today. The ring mouth has 6 teeth (8 teeth in the second generation), which is already 4 1mm (42mm in the second generation), and it is equipped with a quick change strap system, which is equipped with three kinds of steel belts, crocodile belts and rubber belts in all directions, making this watch fully realize "one watch and three uses" and suitable for any occasion.

Its dial design is quite simple. There are only three hands and a calendar window on the dial. The blue dial will display "blue-black" color in the case of poor shopping, from blue to black. When the light enters the dial again, the color will immediately turn bright blue, giving people a dreamy feeling and greatly improving the visual effect of the dial.

It is equipped with Vacheron Vacheron Constantin Cal.5 100 fully automatic winding movement, certified in Geneva, and the splint is engraved with the eye-catching logo of "Eagle and Key", with reliable performance. However, the movements of the first two generations were all purchased from Jaeger-LeCoultre and Baizhi.

Although Vacheron Constantin, Nautilus and Royal Oak are called the top three in fine steel, there is an embarrassing fact. Nautilus and Royal Oak are both extremely popular watches, which are not only hard to find, but also cost a lot of money. On the contrary, they are "cost-effective" everywhere, because they are not only discounted but also easy to get started. Even now, there are still some people calling for the Rolex Panda Di to be listed as the new king of steel. ...

Zombie series is a series made by the wave of sports steel watches led by the Royal Oak. It ranks behind Nautilus and Emperor Oak in the sports mechanical watch, and ranks at the bottom of the "three sports steel watches". It has been neither too hot nor too cold since its birth.

In fact, it can be listed in the top three because it is Vacheron Constantin, and it is no problem to locate high-end workmanship. But to be fair, this third child is a little behind the first two. It's like no matter who is the third place in the national colleges and universities, the gap between them and the first two is obvious.

The gap between Nautilus and Royal Oak can be seen from the market price. They are all compared with the most popular models in these three series. You can buy a 4500V Blu-ray Disc at a public price, and the foreign discount is easy to talk about. Royal Oak 15500 blue plate is hard to find, and the open price of140,000 was copied to 200,000. The blue disk of Nautilus 57 1 1 is even worse. A few days ago, the peak was almost 500 thousand, and it was more than 300 thousand when it plummeted recently. Judging from the actual popularity of the market, although the global 4500V ranks among the three major sports steel watches, not only the other two items are hard to match, but even the brand is not as good as its own green water ghost. Do you believe me? Go to the market to see if 4500V is hard to buy or green water ghost is hard to buy? The starting price of 4500V is similar to that of green ghost, although the public price of 4500V is more than twice that of green ghost.

One more thing, Vacheron Constantin is not an independent watch factory, and its after-sales service is not as good as the first two and the latter.

Of course, the strength of products in the world is commendable. Fine polishing, friendly 24k gold automatic strap and intimate three straps are all its advantages. However, this is an era of looking at faces. In product design, it can't compete with Jerome Zunda's two masterpieces. It is even more impossible to compete with the green water ghosts in the world. How can I put it? Vacheron Constantin doesn't play sports watches after all. Dressing up and complicated functions are zombies' strengths.

What are you talking about? Customized, 10 yuan per month, cool.

It's really good. Crocodile leather belt is rough and waterproof inside, which is very comfortable to use. The strap is light, close to the wrist. The steel strip looks a little dull, but it is suitable for summer wear.
