Vacheron Constantin enriches its Traditionnelle collection with six new models featuring slate grey opaline dials in combination with red gold cases.
Although ranging from only-time models to complicated ones, all these new timepieces are characterized by the the signature characteristics of the Traditionnelle collection: a round stepped case, slim bezel and fluted caseback, a railway-track minute circle, “bâtons de Genève” applied hour-markers and Dauphine-type hands.
Each model houses a Manufacture mechanical movement, manual-winding or self-winding depending on the model and adorned with state-of-the-art hand-crafted finishing.
Housed in a 44 mm case, the Traditionnelle calibre 2755 (ref. 80172/000R-B406) unites a tourbillon, a perpetual calendar and a minute repeater with centripetal flying strike governor. Comprised of 602 components, the manual winding Calibre 2755 QP beats at a frequency of 2.5 Hz (18,000 vibrations per hour) and offers 58 hours of power reserve.
Less complicated but still a masterpiece of horological prowess, the 42 mm Traditionnelle 14-day tourbillon (ref. 89000/000R-B407) features an openworked tourbillon shaped like a Maltese cross, the Vacheron Constantin emblem, and boasts an impressive 14-day power reserve thanks to four series-coupled barrels. Also for this model, the movement is hand-wound and beats at 2.5 Hz.
Coming in a 39.5 mm x 10.65 mm case, the Traditionnelle day-date and power reserve (ref. 85290/000R-B405) is powered by the ultra-thin self-winding Calibre 2475 SC which displays central seconds as well as day, date and power-reserve indications. Beating at 4 Hz (28,800 vibrations/hour), it guarantees 40 hours of autonomy.
An ultra thin self-winding movement - the 2.75 Hz (19,800 vibrations/hour) Calibre 1120 - is also the movement of choice for the only-time Traditionnelle ref. 43075/000R-B404 with its ultra-clean design. For this model the diameter is 41 mm while thickness is 7.26 mm.
Sporting perfect proportions (diameter 38 mm, thickness 8 mm), the Traditionnelle ref. 87172/000R-B403 features a small seconds sub-dial 9 o’clock with date at 3 o’clock. The automatic Calibre 2455 beats at 4 Hz and delivers 40 hours of power reserve.
And, finally, the Traditionnelle ref. 82172/000R-B402 with small seconds at 6 o’clock whose 38 mm x 7.77 mm case houses the 4 Hz hand-wound Calibre 4400 AS with an autonomy of 65 hours.

Masterpieces. I can imagine very high prices. The 82172 is perfect, especially for diameter and height.
