Description

The present watch is the Vacheron Constantin Overseas Moon Phase Retrograde Date, reference 4000V/210A-B911, a Boutique Exclusive that beautifully unites contemporary sportiness with the Maison’s refined sense of elegance. Housed in a 41 mm steel case measuring 10.48 mm in height, the watch features the signature Maltese-cross inspired bezel, brushed and polished finishing, a screw-down crown, sapphire crystals on both sides, and a soft-iron casing ring for antimagnetic protection, all while maintaining a practical 50-meter water resistance. The dial is rendered in translucent blue lacquer, laid over a sunburst satin-brushed base and framed by a velvet-finished flange, with 18K white gold hour markers and hands highlighted by blue Super-LumiNova for excellent legibility. Powering the watch is the in-house Calibre 2460 R31L/2, a Hallmark of Geneva-certified automatic movement with a 22K gold rotor, 275 components, 27 jewels, a frequency of 28,800 vph, and a 40-hour power reserve. It displays hours, minutes, a retrograde date, and a precision moon phase showing the age of the moon, bringing poetic complication to a highly wearable format. The watch is completed by a sophisticated steel bracelet with half Maltese cross-shaped links and a triple-blade folding clasp with comfort adjustment, and it also includes blue calfskin leather and blue rubber straps with a second folding clasp, offering exceptional versatility for both formal and casual wear.
