The 42 x 15mm case is made of microblasted Grade 5 titanium, which is both lighter and harder than stainless steel. The heavily guarded screw-down crown sits on the left side of the case to avoid digging into your wrist while putting the watch through its paces, and it has a red inner portion to warn you when it’s unscrewed so you don’t compromise the watch’s 200m of water resistance.
The 60-minute bezel is unidirectional and features four large indents that make it easier to turn while wearing bulky gloves. Micromilspec calls this a QuadGrip bezel, and while it heightens functionality, it also further elevates the watch’s visual similarities to the Overseas Everest.
The integrated textured rubber strap looks phenomenal, and while white is the standard option for the white dial, the watch is also available on a black or orange rubber strap. The dial’s luminescence is handled by Super-LumiNova X1 on the hands and indices, some of the brightest lume around.
Finally, we have the movement, and it’s a good one. Powering the watch is a Swiss-made La Joux-Perret LJP L121 automatic chronograph GMT. That’s right — with chronograph and GMT complications on board, this watch effectively combines the functionality of both Vacheron Everest watches.
The GMT tracks a 24-hour inner bezel, and the chronograph clocks up to 12 hours, with the subdials for chronograph hours, minutes and running seconds all clearly labeled on the dial for practicality. The movement is regulated to +/- 4 seconds per day and has a 60-hour power reserve.
