Object description

Case and Dial Design

The design emphasizes a luxury sports aesthetic while incorporating specific visual elements unique to this limited edition. The slate-grey, semi-translucent dial is contrasted by a distinct narrow band in English-green, which sits between the main dial surface and the chapter ring, providing a subtle color variation not found in standard production models.

The watch is presented on a matching stainless steel bracelet with an integrated folding clasp. The case back incorporates a sapphire crystal exhibition window, allowing for a view of the internal mechanics, and is engraved with the individual unit's serial number and its place within the limited series of 25 pieces.

  • “صفحه ساعت دارای رنگ خاکستری تخته‌سنگی (Slate-Grey) نیمه‌شفاف است که در بررسی دقیق، یک حاشیه با نوار باریک به رنگ سبز انگلیسی (English-Green) میان صفحه اصلی و حلقه دور صفحه (Chapter ring) جلب توجه می‌کند”
  • “درپوش پشتی دارای کریستال شفاف برای نمایش موتور و همچنین حکاکی شماره سریال و شماره نسخه محدود از مجموع ۲۵ عدد است”

Movement and Functionality

Powering the timepiece is the in-house Calibre 5200, an automatic chronograph movement designed for precision and durability. The movement includes a column-wheel system for the chronograph function, which is a hallmark of the manufacturer's technical standards. The movement is finished with a gold oscillating weight featuring a decorative compass-rose design, visible through the case back.

Beyond the chronograph functions, the movement is engineered with anti-magnetic properties to protect timing accuracy. The watch is specified for water resistance up to 150 meters, supporting its classification as a sports watch.

Historical Context and Edition

This specific reference was released in 2016 to mark the 180th anniversary of the brand's entry into the Latin American market. The watch was produced in a highly restricted quantity of 25 units.

Due to the limited release and the nature of its distribution, this version is categorized by the source as an obscure and rare iteration within the third-generation Overseas chronograph lineage.

Evidence for this section
  • “این نسخه ویژه در سال ۲۰۱۶ و به مناسبت گرامیداشت ۱۸۰ سالگی فروش نخستین ساعت واشرون کنستانتین در آمریکای لاتین طراحی و تولید شده است”
  • “در تیراژ تنها ۲۵ نسخه تولید شده است”
  • “این ساعت به عنوان یکی از نادرترین نمونه‌های نسل سوم کرنوگراف‌های اورسیز شناخته می‌شود که بدون تبلیغات گسترده رسانه‌ای عرضه شده است”

Open research questions

  • What specific design choices led to the selection of English-green for the chapter ring accent?
  • Are there variations in the individual numbering of the 25 pieces, or are they marked sequentially?
