2 Overseas dual time Caliber 5110 DT Available in stainless steel with a blue or silver-toned lacquered dial, or in 18 carats 5N pink gold with a silver-toned dial, the Overseas dual time model is as comfortable as it is elegant. Its new mechanical self-winding movement, Vacheron Constantin Caliber 5100 DT, enables simultaneous reading of the two time zones by means of coaxial hands. The hours hand indicates the local time zone corresponding to the traveller s current location, while the hand tipped with a triangular arrows shows the time in a reference time zone. This 12-hour display, adjustable via the crown in both directions, is complemented by a day/night indication set to home time, as well as a pointer-type date display synchronised with local time. This 234- component movement, oscillating at a frequency of 4 Hz and endowed with a comfortable 60- hour power reserve thanks to its twin barrel, is housed in a 41 mm-diameter steel case that is water-resistant to 150 metres. Presented in its steel version with a stainless steel bracelet featuring half Maltese cross-shaped polished and satin-brushed links, complete with a comfort-adjustment system, it is delivered with two additional alligator leather and rubber straps matching the shade of the dial and fitted with an equally interchangeable stainless steel folding clasp.
