Whether you own a luxury watch or not, you have probably wondered at least once, "Which model is popular?" While everyone has their own motivations, such as "I want a popular classic model!" or "I want a model that no one else has!" , it is difficult to know which models are actually popular unless you get real-time information.
So this time, we will be revealing the top 5 Vacheron Constantin models handled by Commit Ginza (hereinafter referred to as our store) in the first half of 2024! Please enjoy reading the list while imagining the rankings with us.
5th place: Overseas Automatic "Ref. 4500V/110R-B705"
In fifth place is the solid gold model of the Overseas Automatic, Ref. 4500V/110R-B705, which is arguably the most popular model of the brand .
The deep, lustrous blue dial matches the 18KRG (rose gold) case and bracelet very well, and this watch has an outstanding elegance. It is equipped with the "Cal.5100" movement, which boasts a power reserve of approximately 60 hours and features a rotor with a distinctive compass motif, and its beauty can be enjoyed through the skeleton back. At first glance, the case may seem rugged, but it is extremely comfortable to wear, and this feeling of use is also one of the reasons for its popularity.
4th Place
"Overseas Dual Time" "Ref. 7900V/110A-B334 "
In fourth place is the "Overseas Dual Time" (Ref. 7900V/110A-B546), a model of the "Overseas" that was renewed in 2016 and is equipped with a dual time mechanism .
As the name suggests, this watch can read two time zones, and the "AM/P M" display at the 9 o'clock position allows you to check the morning and afternoon of the second time zone. In addition, the movement "Cal.5110 DT" boasts impeccable performance with 25,000A/m magnetic resistance and a 60-hour power reserve, and the calendar at the 6 o'clock position can be easily adjusted with the pusher at the 4 o'clock position. In addition to its excellent functionality, the brand's blue dial is finished in a beautiful and elegant color, making it a versatile piece that can be used both on and off the job.
3rd Place
"Fiftysix" "Ref.4600E/000A-B442 "
Coming in third place is the Fiftysix "Ref. 4600E/000A-B442", which was announced at SIHH 2018.
It is simple and relatively affordable, and is becoming one of the most popular models in the Vacheron Constantin collection along with the Overseas. The movement "Cal.1326" used in this watch is manufactured by Val Fleurier, a subsidiary of the Richemont Group, based on the "Cal.1904 MC" made by Cartier, and the movement is finished and adjusted by Vacheron Constantin, which has succeeded in keeping the retail price down. The two-tone silver color is elegant, but the Arabic numerals on the index give it a soft impression, so we recommend this watch as an entry model for those considering a dress watch.
2nd Place
"Overseas Chronograph" "Ref.5500V/110A-B148 "
In second place is the Overseas Chronograph "Ref. 5500V/110A-B148," which underwent a full model change in 2016 and now features a see-through back.
This beautifully designed watch features a dial and subdials in the same color, with different shades of blue, and is equipped with the Geneva Seal-certified movement "Cal.5200," which has a power reserve of approximately 52 hours. Furthermore, it features an "interchangeable function" that allows you to easily change the strap, making it highly versatile. Recommended for those looking for a model with a sporty and refreshing impression.
1st Place
"Overseas Automatic" "Ref. 4500V/110A-B128 "
Taking the honorable first place is the Overseas Automatic "Ref. 4500V/110A-B128," which was released in 1996 and is based on the "Ref. 222," created to commemorate the company's 222nd anniversary.
As a representative luxury sports watch, this model is highly regarded among luxury watch brands, and is finished in a way that firmly inherits the brand's traditions, such as by featuring the brand's symbol, the Maltese cross, on the bezel. The blue dial of this model comes in two patterns: a matte blue lacquer finish and a vibrant blue sunburst finish, and the color changed around 2019. It's hard to tell from just the photo, so why not pick one up and compare them to see which one you prefer?
