From the location of this brand, Vacheron Constantin is one of the three troikas, which is usually only with Patek Philippe and Audemars Piguet positioning higher than regular luxury watches. But at this time, Vacheron Constantin set the price of this new entry-level watch so low that was very unexpected.

Vacheron Constantin New Steel Case Large Three-Pin FIFTYSIX

FIFTYSIX Series Watch Details
40mm diameter in size and 9.6mm in thick, Vacheron Constantin has the gray dial. And there is a normal lacquered dial, which is decorated by the unique radial pattern. Surrounded by the circle-markers at the outer surface of the dial, the center is still has the same circle with the different tone, which seems a little funny. Logo of the brand at 12 o’clock adds the luxury to watch.

Engraved with the gold sticks and Arabic number, the markers have a luminous coating that make time clearly even if in the dark environment. And the sticks and the Arabic numbers are alternative distribution reflecting a special feeling.

From the dial of the watch, the fans who are familiar with the watch can see that this watch is not a complete dressing watch, but a element with only a little sporty style (the most standard dressing table has no luminous). When plus a little shoulder strap on the crown, it must be a static watch. Basically, it is the type of formal wear and casual eating that does not pick clothes to match it.

There is a date window at the 3 o’clock position, which is very convenient. Compared with the usual gold watch of Vacheron Constantin, this steel case is more durable. So this steel case large three-pin FIFTYSIX series watch is a element that is very suitable for normal wear.

The key to price positioning depends on the movement
The Vacheron Constantin 1326 calibre is a self-developed movement within the Richemont Group. And the Vacheron Constantin version of the 1326 calibre is the highest level of decoration and configuration. Equipped with 26.2mm diameter in size and 4.3mm in thick, the movement has a swing frequency of 28,800 and a power of 48 hours.

The parts of the 1326 movement were also produced by the ValFleurier movement factory, which was refurbished, added to the configuration and assembled by Vacheron Constantin.

With a central cutout and a Maltese cross pattern, the 1326 movement uses a 22K gold automatic totem. What’s more, the movement level of the movement is similar to Vacheron Constantin’s main 2450/2460 movement and 5100 movement.

This watch is reduced in price, whose produce will not large that may be the marketing strategy of the brand. If there is only a few output, the positioning of brand won’t be affected.
