Overview

The Overseas' first platinum ultra-thin

The Vacheron Constantin Overseas Self-Winding Ultra-Thin, reference 2500V/220P-H028, in 950 platinum with a salmon-toned dial and 18K white gold hands, on the platinum bracelet. Self-winding calibre 2550, the brand's first platinum micro-rotor movement; 39.5 mm, 7.35 mm high, certified to the Hallmark of Geneva.

The reference 2500V/220P-H028 is Vacheron Constantin's Overseas Self-Winding Ultra-Thin, which the brand's page states is the first Overseas made entirely in 950 platinum, produced as a limited edition of 255 pieces. The case is 39.5 mm across and 7.35 mm high, water-resistant to 50 m, with a transparent sapphire case back and an antimagnetic marking on it. The dial is salmon-toned with a sunburst-finished centre and a lacquered outer minute track, a shade the brand says is kept for this platinum version; the hour and minute hands and hour-markers are 18K white gold, picked out in blue SuperLuminova®.

Inside is the self-winding calibre 2550, which the page describes as the Maison's first platinum micro-rotor movement: 30.6 mm across, 2.4 mm high, 153 parts and 26 jewels, with hours, minutes and a balance-stop function, running at 21,600 V.P.H. (3 Hz) for a stated 80-hour power reserve. The watch is certified to the Hallmark of Geneva, which the brand traces to an 1886 standard set by the Republic and Canton of Geneva, framing it today as a mark of quality craftsmanship and provenance rather than one specific technical figure. The platinum bracelet is listed with no stated closing system of its own on this record, alongside a beige rubber strap and a beige alligator leather strap, a triple folding clasp and an Ardillon buckle among the further accessories supplied.

For collectors

The Closing system row for the platinum bracelet is left blank on this page and the record carries no clasp field, unlike every other execution in this group, which each state a named clasp for their metal bracelet -- worth checking with the brand before assuming the platinum bracelet has none.
