THE year 2024 is set to be a banner one for luxury watches. January isn’t over yet, but major brands are already rolling out new models. Among those first off the mark are Vacheron Constantin, Omega and Longines. 

Vacheron Constantin Overseas Quartz

While not a new watch, it is an updated version of an existing model in the brand’s highly popular Overseas collection, which is inspired by travel and an openness to the world. As its name suggests, the Overseas Quartz is powered by a quartz movement. What it doesn’t say is that the petite timepiece, which is aimed at ladies, is the first 33 mm wide quartz watch in the collection that comes in 18K 5N pink gold with an integrated bracelet. And it has a new design – the Overseas’ signature six-sided bezel is elegantly decorated with 78 brilliant cut diamonds that light up the path of the hands and the date at 3 o’clock on a translucent denim blue lacquered dial. If the S$74,000 price tag feels high, think of it as one watch with three different looks. Thanks to its interchangeability system, the watch can be worn with a pink gold bracelet, light blue calfskin band or denim blue rubber strap.
