Vacheron Constantin Overseas Dual Time Cardinal Points: Four Titanium Travel Watches for 2026
Vacheron Constantin Overseas Dual Time Cardinal Points: A New Era of Adventure
Vacheron Constantin has revealed the Overseas Dual Time Cardinal Points collection at Watches and Wonders 2026, a quartet of titanium travel watches that celebrate three decades of the Overseas collection's adventurous spirit. According to Monochrome Watches, the four new references draw inspiration from the four cardinal directions, each paired with a distinctive dial colour.
Titanium Construction and Design
Measuring 41mm in diameter and 12mm in height, the Cardinal Points feature full Grade 5 titanium construction for both case and integrated bracelet. The bezel, crown, and pusher ring receive a matte anthracite-grey finish, contrasting with the brushed and polished surfaces of the tonneau-shaped case. Water resistance remains at 150 metres with a screw-down crown.
The collection revolves around four cardinal points, each represented by a different dial colour and landscape reference:
- North (White) — Evokes the icy expanses of polar regions
- South (Brown) — Inspired by continental plains
- West (Green) — Recalls dense forests
- East (Blue) — Where sea meets sky at the horizon
