Incoming Vacheron Traditionelle Openface

I started getting a bit tired of the steel sports watch craze, so a few months back my taste began to move more towards dress watches.

Picked up this Vacheron Constantin Traditionelle Complete Calendar Openface the other week. I love it. I think it’s a fantastic combination of traditional dress watch and contemporary aesthetic. And having the complete calendar w/ moon phase is a huge plus!

congrats! I am waiting for my gold one to arrive. I love the silver but my eyes are too old to see well with less contrasted silver dial!

Just saw the eyed comment

I have the white gold and it’s one of the most legible watches I own. The way they made the hands it really catches the light. It took me by huge surprise. I was expecting to be hard to read.

I completely agree. I was shocked at how legible it is as well. The half satin and half polished, angular hands make it extremely legible and high contrast atop the anthracite coated openface movement. Here's a photo in broad daylight while driving in the car to show an example.
