In 2019 American photographer and mountaineer Cory Richards climbed Mount Everest wearing a prototype of Vacheron Constantin’s Overseas chronograph. Richards designed the watch in collaborated with Vacheron specifically for his ascent using an ‘unclimed’ route. That hardy prototype inspired the latest additions to the Overseas collection, the 42.5-mm Everest Chronograph ($37,000) and 41-mm Everest Dual Time ($31,300). Limited to 150 pieces each, both watches come in titanium cases with stainless steel bezel rings, self-winding movements and orange accents. The luminescent hands and markers on the grey dials ensure optimal legibility of the indications.
