Vacheron Constantin Overseas Tourbillon Watch
The Overseas collection is to Vacheron Constantin what the Royal Oak is to Audemars Piguet and the Nautilus is to Patek Philippe. It is their take on a high-end, refined sports watch. If you recall, Vacheron Constantin gave its Overseas collection a massive update/makeover in 2016 that introduced a whole bunch of new models. There was a time and date only model that featured a brand new in-house base caliber, a chronograph model with a brand new in-house self-winding chronograph movement, and even a new ultra-thin perpetual calendar model. Notably missing, however, was a tourbillon model. That changes today with the new Vacheron Constantin Overseas Tourbillon.SpecificationsBrand: Vacheron ConstantinModel: Oversea Tourbillon (6000V / 110A-B544)Dimensions: 42.5mm diameter, 5.65mm thickWater Resistance: 50mCase Material: Stainless steelCrystal/Lens: SapphireMovement: Caliber 2160Frequency: 2.5HzPower Reserve: 80 hoursStrap/Bracelet: Stainless steel bracelet, blue alligator strap, blue rub

And finally, we have a discussion about the differences between a minimalist watch and a simple watch.From around the Internet, we have a handy traveling guide for watch lovers in Japan.
