A JOURNEY AROUND THE GLOBE
Designed for today’s travelers, this new titanium collection combines sporty elegance, an intuitive second time zone display, and a poetic evocation of the four cardinal directions through a color palette inspired by the world’s horizons.
For several years now, titanium has established itself at Vacheron Constantin as the natural companion for travelers and adventurers. As early as 2019, the Geneva-based manufacture developed an Overseas Dual Time prototype for American mountaineer and photographer Cory Richards, intended for an ascent of Everest via the northeast face. Two years later, two limited editions, a Dual Time and a Chronograph, confirmed the brand’s interest in this metal, prized as much for its lightness as for its robustness. At the Watches and Wonders 2026 fair, this exploration takes on a new dimension with the Overseas Dual Time Cardinal Points, a series of four models conceived as four distinct stops along a journey.
Each features a color evoking a cardinal direction and a region of the world: silvery white for the north, chocolate brown for the south, forest green for the east, and navy blue for the west. Bright orange accents enliven the second time zone and day/night indicators. The dial plays with textures and finishes to orchestrate the presentation of information: a grained disc at the center, a satin-finished ring, a minute track on a lacquered flange, and an azure-finished date window at 6 o’clock. The whole is powered by the in-house automatic caliber 5110DT/3, housed in a 41mm titanium case. Visible through the sapphire crystal case back, its gold oscillating weight engraved with a compass rose provides a power reserve of approximately 60 hours and bears the prestigious Hallmark of Geneva (Poinçon de Genève).
