Among the many trips Cory Richards, professional photographer and long-distance explorer has been to, those to the Himalayas have a special place in his heart. He has conquered it twice, and once without oxygen, back in 2016. Always looking for new challenges, he was prepared to undertake a third ascent to the roof of the world. Unfortunately, bad weather conditions didn't allow it and despite his careful preparation, he had to give up this new adventure to reach the top.
Driven by a common passion, by the same vision of openness to the world, by the taste for innovation, and by sharing the audacity and the desire to overcome their limits, Cory Richards and Vacheron Constantin decided to embark together. Cory Richards thus joins the very select group of personalities chosen by Vacheron Constantin to represent its «one of not many» communication campaign. This collaboration led to the creation of a prototype, the Overseas dual time zone that features a 41mm case, forged from sturdy light titanium. Beneath the bezel there’s a reinforcement made with tantalum, and the protection of the crown is also reinforced with two titanium protectors. This model is equipped with an orange-stitched grey blue Ventile® technical fabric, distinguished by its unique density along with its exceptional waterproofness. The sporty nature of the prototype is likewise expressed in the grey blue sphere and orange accents on the dial as well as in the NAC treatment applied to its movement.
