I Happened To Be In The Beverly Hills VC Boutique...

... And I have to say, the Overseas Worldtime, what with its steel case and multitude of strap options, is really a superb watch. 


While I totally dig the rubber strap (on the left), It is definitely worth mentioning that it appears only Vacheron Constantin straps and bracelets will fit this timepiece. 

That said, once it has been properly set it is supremely easy to discern the time in 37 separate zones!  You really cannot go wrong with one of The Swiss Crown Jewels. 



Cheers!

Dropped by at VC boutique on Bond St and got smitten by these two creations . What are your thoughts ? And any owners of the calendar steel watch?

Hospitality was top notch and was given a VC umbrella to protect myself from the rain and a pair of VC gloves to handle timepieces ... ...  

Intrigued by both pieces since they were presented

What was the feeling on the wrist for either? All the best, Alex

The world time has its charm . It’s different and unique and practical as a travellers watch..

Patek , Breguet does it in gold hence I think it’s very good ..

Great Travel Watch (Overseas WT)

Personally I find hustling luggage through airports and taxis to be a pretty rough environment for a precious metal watch, so I really like the VC WT (steel case, included rubber strap, genuinely waterproof) for a true traveler's watch. Hard to think of a...

I'm also interested to hear ...

... which is discontinued -- the WT or triple calendar. I'm glad I picked up the red triple calendar, but I also like the WT so I guess I lose either way! Kind regards, Dan

I like the triple calendar a lot

It will be much easier to set when it runs down than the complete calendar. The numeral and dial design is among my favorites for a vintage inspired piece.

I've found this to be true too...

I travel enough that it's easy to take the VC triple calendar with me, enjoy it, and just make a few updates with a toothpick on the flight home. I also appreciate the functionality. The triple calendar has its 'historical innovation' place on the road to...

The Overseas WT is a nice travel companion.

It's too large for my wrist, that's why I prefer the Traditionelle WT (especially in the Excellence Platine version - but that's another story then). My Overseas Time-Date is a watch I often take with me on trips, along with the other straps. You then hav... 

THE WT IS VERY ATTRACTIVE WITH THE LEATHER STRAP

In blue and as others have said I like the relative ease of setting it. And being in steel I don’t worry so much about wearing it as perhaps I would had I bought the gold. ...
