The movement inside This reference is built with either calibre. The choice changes the price, the rate and the reserve — nothing else about the watch.
| Base | Seiko NH35 or Miyota 8215, automatic | Swiss clone of the maison's own calibre |
|---|---|---|
| Rate | ±15 to 25 seconds a day | ±5 to 10 seconds a day |
| Reserve | About 40 hours | 55 to 70 hours |
| Balance | 21,600 A/h · six beats a second | 28,800 A/h · eight beats a second |
| Servicing | Any watchmaker can service it; parts are everywhere | Serviced by a specialist; finished as the original is |
| Suited to | Wearing daily, keeping simply, spending less | Matching the reference exactly, and glass casebacks |
The Swiss movement is $50 more. That figure buys the rate, the reserve and a movement that reads correctly through a glass back — not a different watch.
Which we would take. If it is to be worn every day and serviced down the road from you, the Japanese is the honest answer. If it has to survive a loupe against the reference — or the caseback is glass and the movement is meant to be seen — take the Swiss.
The exact base calibre for this reference is confirmed in writing, with the QC film, before anything is dispatched. The two movements, explained

Description
Starting with its looks and captivating with its talent, the best commuter watch – the Vacheron Constantin Overseas 47040 collection. This watch combines true sportiness and strong aesthetics with luxurious finishes, high-end movement, and wearability.
The distinctive 42mm case features integrated lugs and a Maltese cross-shaped bezel. Hours, minutes, and seconds are displayed on the central axis, with a concealed date in a window at 4:30. The stainless steel case, hands, and 18K gold hour markers are filled with luminous material, enhancing dial legibility. Thanks to the screw-down crown and robust screw-down case back, it boasts a water resistance of up to 150 meters and is engraved with the "Overseas" emblem. The case features built-in shock protection and antimagnetic properties, thanks to a soft iron core that resists magnetic fields that could damage the movement.
Thanks to the slim 3.25mm 1226SC automatic movement, this watch is remarkably thin, measuring only 9.7mm in thickness. This relatively thin 3.25mm-thick mechanical device is made of 143 parts, operates at a frequency of 4 Hz (28,800 vibrations per hour), and has a power reserve of 40 hours.
The entire line offers both rubber strap and steel bracelet options, allowing you to switch between sporty and fashionable styles to suit your daily attire.
