So please, go to jaztime.com and not someone else's website after you watch this review, if you want to buy it. Without further ado, I'm going to be reviewing the Vacheron Constantin overseas chronograph black, reference 4-9-1-5-0. I'm going to talk to you guys about the bezel, the dial, the bracelet, the movement, try it on and give you my thoughts. Okay, so let's dive right in. Now this Vacheron Constantine chronograph is one of their most popular models. And if I had to liken it to any other brands, I'd say the Royal Oak for Audemar Piguet would be also very similar watch. And for Rolex, it would be compared to a Rolex Daytona. So, and if we were to compare this to the Paddock, we'd be looking at the Paddock Aquanaut or the Paddock Nautilus. So those are the four competitors in the same class. Now this watch is a 2nd generation overseas. They made it from approximately 2004. And I don't know when the second generation stopped. I wanna say a couple of years ago as in probably 2015 or 17, something like that. So they've been making the second generation for quite some time now. So anyhow, okay. Now enough of that, let's talk about the case. Now, the case, what I think is kind of cool about this one is it's 42 millimeters. Now that's from my thumb to my index finger. Now, if you compare that to, for example, a Rolex, I don't have a Daytona here to show you, but I do have a, another similar watch. Now, if you look at them side by side, now the Rolex says that their watch is 40 millimeters. But if you actually look at it side by side, it really looks about the same. In fact, I have my calipers here. So we're gonna find out, live on YouTube, whether or not what they say, 42 millimeters, is true. Cus I'd like to see actually, it's my first time looking at this as well. So I have my caliper set here, and let's take a look at what they say 42 millimeters is. Yeah, actually it is. They actually have it here at 41 35. And it could be cus my calipers are a little bit not exactly, well, yeah, there ya go, 42. So it actually is 42. And that's if you look at the full case, that's from left to right, all the way through. And if you look at the Rolex, for example, even though it says 40, they're actually measuring right here, they're actually measuring the bezel. And actually the bezel goes to the very end of the case, which so the Vacheron is slightly bigger. But if you look at them side by side, really, it doesn't look much bigger. They're just measured, Vacheron is measuring case to case. So look at them side by side, you see that. Nonetheless, the Vacheron is bigger. If you notice the dial, it does look slightly larger. I do like that for, especially for a sports watch. It's kind of nice to have them a little bit bigger like that. Now I'll bring your attention to this dial. If you look really carefully, you'll notice that it has these like little spots or 3d kinda look to it. Now another watch that does this is the Royal Oak, they have a mega tapestry. In this dial, it also has that sort of like a 3d design on it. It's kinda textured. And if you look, actually it's quite a joy to look at. What they call it is a guilloche pattern, guil-lo-che. I'm not sure if that's the actual terminology, but that's what a lot of people have called this. If you look at it in that light, that I'm just showing you right now, it has a, like a texture look to it. It's almost like a 3d look to it. It's very interesting. And I think you could, if you like that look, this one has it, the overseas Vacheron. And so does the Audemar Piquet. Now, if you wanna see what this thing looks like at night, I have actually, shining a light on it right there. That's actually what it looks like. And you'll notice that like hour hand, and marker hands are a little bit different color than the hour hands. It actually makes it easier to read, in my opinion. I really like that. And it makes this watch go, kinda unique. I haven't really seen that before. So that's also a very, a cool thing about it. Okay. Now this watch, of course, as a chronograph, as you see, cus you see these three sub-dials, and it just does it the same way as every other watch, which is you unscrew the top, and then you start and stop it. Now I gotta say, it's kind of a zonk for me that you have to unscrew these start, stop buttons. I don't really like that. I gotta say, like the whole point of a start, stop button is start and stop, not start, unscrew, stop and unscrew. I think that's kind of like, they gotta kinda figure that out. Maybe they figure it out in a later generation, gives them something to shoot for. Now, if you want to stop it, you just simply go like this, stop it at the top. You know, some people don't mind that. You know, some people don't actually even use the chronograph feature. I think, probably, most people won't even bother using it and just leave it set at the 12 o'clock resting position. So it won't even matter. And it, you know, in some ways the screw down, it kinda looks cool. You know, it looks like it. But if you look at it more, they also have like a screw-down looking one. But you don't actually have to screw it. Like it would be cool if you could just simply press it right there and make it start and stop. I imagine though, that would probably have a problem, if you went into water and you pressed it and water flooded into it and destroyed your watch. So I guess maybe that's for a reason. But anyways, I'm not the maker of this watch. I'm just simply reviewing it. So that's just something that I noticed. Now, if you look at the case quite carefully, I actually think this watch is polished amazingly. I think they, Vacheron, along with like other brands, such as Paddock, they do a great job of the Polish. Now, if you look here carefully, it alternates between brushed on the top and high polish on the side and even on the edge, which is kind of beveled. It has a high polish on it. And if you look at this bezel, and what you'll also see, I just kinda wiping off so you can see it more clear, you'll notice that the top of the bezel is high-polished, but the case itself is brushed, and it alternates again here with a high polish. I think that's pretty cool. It's a really neat thing that Vacheron does along with it's dowel, which makes this watch a little bit more unique. All right, now let's talk about this bracelet. Now I actually am quite a fan of this bracelet and I want to bring your attention to a couple of things on this bracelet. Now, if you look carefully, you'll notice that the bracelet alternates again, between brushed and high polish, can you look at that right there? Like, you see how it's brushed, high polish, brush, high polish? And they actually have to get in between these sections right there. And I cannot even imagine what they have to do. See, you see where my pinkie is pointing to right there? It's like, how do you get your polish machine in between these little arrows to high polish and then brush on the side? I mean, I really think that takes a lot of work. And, you know what? If someone brought this to me and they wanted me to polish it, I'd probably just tell them, "Hey man, I don't think I can do that," because you know, it's gonna have to be all brushed or all polished. Because I think that's really difficult. I actually would not know how to do it. But again, I don't, I don't work in Switzerland. So, anyhow, yeah, that's what I see from this bracelet. And I really like that it's very fluid. I gotta say though, I kinda don't like how each one of these has a screw. That means you could take them off at either the top or the bottom. I gotta say, that's kinda a zonk for me. I kinda wish it was like all, you know, fixed links and at the very bottom I kinda, you know, but you know, I'm sure Vacheron has their own reason for that. Okay, maybe it's for the continuity, so it has these like little dots right there, or the little screws right there. I guess that's one reason. You know, I read online somewhere that they call this sort of pattern like a maltese cross pattern. I don't know. It sounds kinda like nonsense to me. I'm sure Vacheron does it however they want to do it. But you can decide how you see that one. Now, let's talk about the bracelet. The bracelet or the buckle, I'm sorry, the buckle is using a deployment buckle. And what does that mean? Oh, you know what ? Now that I see this, it does kinda look like the maltese symbol. Doesn't mean that they actually derived it from there, but Maltese being the country in Southern Europe, in the islands, it actually does look like the Maltese cross. That could be just a coincidence, I'm not really sure. But maybe you guys know it, you can leave it in the comment section below. But it does look like a very nice symbol. Now here's what I'm gonna do, open up the deployments so you can see. Ka bam, and it opens very nicely. And of course, kinda like what you expect on this caliber of a watch. Okay, now I'm going to bring your attention, next thing to this movement. Now, unfortunately you can't see the movement, and this is kinda a zonk for me as well. It's like why make this amazing movement in the 4 9 1 5 0 overseas chronograph, if you can't even see the movement. In fact, this movements kinda interesting, in that it has an anti-magnetic, automatic, in-house caliber 1-1-3-7. And the magnetic caliber offers protection against magnetic fields of up to 25,000 am. I don't know what am stands for, cus I'm not a whatever scientist. But I'm sure it means something really magnetic related. Now the movement actually has 183 parts, 37 jewels and a power reserve of 40 hours. And it beats out a frequency of 21,600 VPH. Basically, it means it's a really bad ass movement. And I don't know why you would cover that up with a case back like this. But I guess, you know, it leaves something to be desired in future models. All right, anyhow, that's pretty much, I've gone through every single part. As I told you, and I want to try it on my wrist and then give you my thoughts. As I said before, at the beginning of this video, we're actually making this video so customers like you can buy it from Jaztime. We're not making these for the goodness of our heart. No, we're actually making this video for the purpose of making money. So, if you like this watch, or you think you want to buy it, I would actually hope that you would buy it at Jaztime, which is why I'm sitting here on a Saturday afternoon doing this video. All right. So my thoughts on this are, if you were to compare it to the AP Royal Oak or the, which is, you know, selling at like 20,000 plus, or the Rolex Daytona, which is also selling at 20,000 plus, or the paddock, not a list which is selling at like probably 50 K plus. You know, there's overseas for, you know, less than 20 K is actually the cheapest of the bunch and actually is quite cool. It's unique. It's still looks great. It feels great. And it's actually, I forgot to mention, It's also very thin. I think it comes in at 12.6 millimeters, which is quite thin. It's like the size of a datejust. It's really quite a bargain. You know, I mean, I guess if you can call paying less than $20,000 for your watch, right? At least at the, as of the moment they're selling in the teens, and you know, you can pick one up at Jaztime or we can also order you the third generation, if you like that. You simply click on the link and buy it at Jaztime. J-a-z time.com. You know, so my thoughts are, you know, it's, I wouldn't call it the best of the bunch, but I certainly would call it the best value for the bunch. It has a high name on it. It's a nice Kronos stainless steel, which means it's rugged. And it had the lowest price point. That to me is a really big selling point. I think it's, you know, Vacheron is up there with, you know, the big dogs, Audemar Piguet, Paddock, Philippe, Rolex, and it's actually the cheapest of the bunch. So in that sense, it has the best value. And if you want to buy it, please visit us at jaztime.com, j-a-z-t-i-m-e.com.
