New Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle Tourbillon Retrograde Date Openface

Now is the season for Vacheron Constantin replica watches for sale to introduce the retrograde date display, a feature that has existed in the Vacheron Constantin family since the 1920s. This year, no less than three new models have been introduced at Watches Wonders to celebrate this remarkable complication, one of which is the Traditionnelle Tourbillon Retrograde Date Openface.

The Tourbillon Retrograde Date Openface is the only timepiece in the current Traditionnelle collection to feature a retrograde date display more prevalent in the Patrimony collection. The open design of the dial follows the avant-garde design theme of watches such as Traditionnelle Twin Beat Perpetual Calendar (2019) and Complete Calendar Openface (2021). Add a tourbillon at its heart and you get a watch that combines modern design, precision mechanics and traditional craftsmanship. Here we bring you details and real thoughts on the latest addition to the Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle collection, the Tourbillon Retrograde Date Open Watch.

Case, Dial and Hands
The case dimensions of the new Traditionnelle Tourbillon Retrograde Date Openface are a contemporary 41.00 x 11.07mm. Available in rose gold, it features a stepped design and thin bezels, hallmarks of the Traditionnelle collection. It's a simple enough design designed to maximize the impact of the dial.buy replica watches

Its dial is just awesome. The multidimensional dial of Vacheron Constantin’s latest Traditionnelle is assembled from four parts. The first is the most obvious: an 18K gold slate gray plate with hand-engraved sections and a retrograde display printed beneath it. Then there are the 18k gold hour markers. The third section is the milky, railroad style, minute and second track. Paradoxically, the last part covers the largest surface area but is the least visible: the sapphire crystal reveals the watch's mechanics. The collision of tradition and modernity is amazing here. The same goes for the hands – the classic rose gold dauphine hands, and the unorthodox black gold hands with white arrow tips for the retrograde date. It's worth noting that despite having so many different elements coming together,luxury replica watches

Driving the Traditionnelle Tourbillon Retrograde Date Openface is the 30-jewel, 242-part Caliber 2162 R31. The movement is based on the groundbreaking Caliber 2160 launched in 2018, which at the time was Vacheron Constantin’s first and only self-winding tourbillon movement. The new Caliber 2162 R31 is essentially a more stylized version of its predecessor, with the addition of a retrograde date mechanism on the dial side. Both movements beat at 2.5 Hz, but the Caliber 2162 R31 has a slightly lower power reserve of 72 hours (compared to 80 hours for the Caliber 2160), possibly due to the additional complication. The movement is equipped with a peripheral oscillating weight that winds the watch like a full oscillating weight, without increasing the height of the movement or obstructing viewing of the movement through the sapphire crystal.high quality cheap watches

The tension between old and new on the dial is elevated to the next level on the movement. The bridges and cleats of the Caliber 2162 R31 are finished in a deep NAC slate gray for an industrial look. Visible from the dial side, the upper part of the bottom plate is simply hand-brushed vertically, while the lower part is engraved by hand in straight lines. Despite the elaborate finishing of the bridges and plates, the tourbillon was the star of the show. The Vacheron Constantin Tourbillon is widely regarded in the industry as one of the most beautiful tourbillons, and it's not hard to understand why. The shape of the cage is inspired by the Maltese cross, which not only looks cool but is also a symbol of the brand. The highly angular shape of the frame opened up many opportunities for interior sloping, and Vacheron Constantin took advantage of opportunities when smaller brands balked. These angles, as well as the other beveled sides and the top surface of the cage, have been mirror polished by hand for a shiny finish. One of the four screws on the edge of the tourbillon cage is given the same galvanic treatment as the bridges, which separates it from the others, allowing it to double as a seconds indicator.luxury cheap Watches

What happens when you bring traditional fine watchmaking into the 21st century? The Traditionnelle Tourbillon Retrograde Date Open is the ideal choice. This watch is a perfect example of how old-school watchmakers can cater to contemporary tastes without losing their character. Vacheron Constantin’s newest Traditionelle still exudes elegance, even with its modern additions such as the sapphire crystal dial and slate gray galvanized bridges. The juxtaposition of old and new is not a novel design concept in watchmaking, but it is perfectly executed here.

Vacheron Constantin may be known as a bastion of traditional watchmaking, but that reputation doesn't stop them from constantly innovating. As they say: different people have different itineraries. The Traditionnelle Tourbillon Retrograde Date Openface isn't the most orthodox offering from the brand we've seen, but it's not short on suitors. Incorporating contemporary design into classic pieces is a smart way to find common ground between timeless traditions and current 21st century trends. When executed to the high standards of the Traditionnelle Tourbillon Retrograde Date Openface, the results are often stunning.best replica watches
