Vacheron Constantin releases a striking new slate-colored watch

2017.07.10

"Traditional" 43075/000R-B404. Automatic (Cal. 1120). 36 jewels. 19,800 vph. Power reserve approximately 40 hours. 18KPG (diameter 41.0mm). Water resistant to 3 ATM. 3,425,000 yen (excluding tax). Scheduled for release this summer.

 Vacheron Constantin's Traditionnelle Collection is adding six new models with 18K pink gold cases.

 Based on the model concept of the "Traditional Collection," all of the models being added this time, like the previous models, are given design codes that characterize the "Traditional" collection, such as a railway minute track, a slender bezel, and dauphine-shaped hands.

 However, the most notable feature of this new model is its slate-colored dial. This deep gray color contrasts with the brilliance of the 18K pink gold case, applied markers, and Vacheron Constantin's iconic Maltese cross, giving the watch a sense of refinement and elegance.

 Depending on the model, the movements are either automatic or manual, and all are manufactured in-house by Vacheron Constantin. The Traditionnelle Caliber 2755 is equipped with the Cal. 2755QP, a manual movement that combines the three major complications of a minute repeater, tourbillon, and perpetual calendar, while the Traditionnelle 14 Days Tourbillon is equipped with the Cal. 2260, which boasts a power reserve of approximately 14 days.
