"Prestigious Swiss watch brand Vacheron Constantin has launched a 100 piece limited edition Overseas Chronograph specially for the Greek market. The overall design keeps with the look of the Overseas collection as it has been since being “refreshed” in 2004 — so what makes it special for Greece? Primarily, the case back is not engraved with the habitual Amerigo Vespucci sail boat but with a Greek Trireme (seen below). Also, the color is new — a dark blue guilloché dial matched with a blue rubber strap (which actually looks pretty cool, in my view). The watch also comes with an extra dark blue croc strap (also pictured). Price is EUR 14.600 (including VAT)."

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: It is not unreasonable for one to ask aloud just how such a storied horological firm as Vacheron Constantin could have their timing so off with their latest realease. I mean, these guys are in the watch business, right? Right. Alas, the master craftsmen @ the House Of Vacheron Constantin have never purported themselves to be anymore than magnificent manipulators of the finest Swiss movements and complications ... forgive them if they could not foresee the collapse of Greece's economy through their narrow, magnified jewelers loops.
In an event so steeped in international irony that it is almost a cruel joke, Vacheron Constantin has just unveiled their beautiful limited edition Overseas Chronograph for Greece. Never mind that 99% of the people in Greece today cannot afford such a luxury, this collector's watch (limited to a mere 100 pieces) is doper than Amy Winehouse's last piss test!
Originally introduced in 1996, the Overseas Chronograph series, in all of it's incarnations, has quickly become a symbol of excellence for these proud bearers of their signature Maltese Cross.
Although visibly composed of typical robust Vacheron Constantin design elements, the 42 mm steel cased Overseas Chronograph for Greece with it's dark blue guilloché engraved dial and matching blue rubber and blue crocodile straps can still make for a durable day-to-day watch (NOTE: As long as Y.O.U. don't do manual labor for a living. Oh, who am I kidding? If Y.O.U. do manual labor for a living we aren't even having this conversation ... lol). Feel free to drop the Feta cheese on 1 of these if Y.O.U. got it! Good shit!
A Special Livestyle Word To The Wise: Whilst I am surely an altruistic advocate of the dispensation of cultural news that I deem helpful in the advancement of your greater overall refinement, I am still a practical nigga. It's always nice to look and even keep up with current Robb Report and duPont Registry™ events, but, I respectfully encourage Y.O.U. ALL to stay in your lane. Get your Rolexes, your Cartiers and your Breitlings down pat before Y.O.U. even bother attempting to land a perfect 10 with a timepiece of this caliber. A fool and his money are soon parted. Please don't pull an Eddy Curry out there my G... lol. Holla @ ya boy in BK!
