Vacheron Constantin Historiques Cornes de Vache 1955
The new Historiques Cornes de Vache 1955 is a contemporary interpretation of the first water-resistant and anti-magnetic chronograph presented by Vacheron Constantin 60 years ago.
Reference 5000H/000P-B058
The case, in platinum, measures 38.5 mm x 10.9 mm. It has double sapphire crystals and it is water resistant to 30 meters. The lugs are referred to as "cow-horn".
Movement is the Swiss manual-wind Vacheron in-house caliber 1142 with 21 jewels, 21,600 vph and a power reserve of 48 hours. The column-wheel screw is shaped like a Maltese cross and it features the Hallmark of Geneva certification. It is protected against magnetism by a soft iron cage.
The dial is silvered opaline with a sun-brushed external zone (minute-track and tachometer scale), Roman numerals, and 18kt white gold applied hour-markers and hands.
It comes on a dark blue Mississippiensis alligator leather strap with an alligator leather inner shell, hand-stitched, saddle-finish, large square scales and a platinum buckle with a polished half Maltese cross-shape.
