Red date has been discontinued. Blue is the only version still available in production. Both are made of steel.

Thanks. When I think of triple calendar, I think of VC. Kind of like perpetual & Patek.

Thanks, and I agree especially since the red version is the closest to the vintage piece, see attached.

Congratulations! That's one of VC's best and a great value. I prefer yours to the blue version and it's a pity they discontinued yours.

Naturally, I’m inclined to agree Even with my objective hat on, I have to say that the case construction is lovely.

I’m hoping to find a steel piece to accompany by Blue 1942

Did you get the deployant buckle?

No, the watch came with a tang buckle.

I went to get the deployant from VC and it wears a lot better now! I’m thinking of doing calf leathers to dress the watch down too!

Found the original tang sitting a bit weirdly.
