-Description
Vacheron Constantin is a watch brand founded in Geneva, Switzerland in 1755. It is considered to be the oldest watch brand in the world that has continued uninterrupted since its inception.
Along with Patek Philippe and Audemars Piguet, it is said to be one of the three most luxurious watch brands in the world.
Reference 6378Q is an self-winding model with a calendar from the 1960s. This dress watch has sturdy lugs, which is rare for a Vacheron, and has just the right amount of thickness.
The case is made of 18k white gold. The texture, which is not unlike that of stainless steel, is a major attraction. The diameter is 35mm, a large size for a watch of this period.
The main feature is the thick bezel with a polished finish. The case back is a waterproof screw back, which gives it a good thickness.
The dial is a silver dial with a sunray finish. It has aged well, but is in very good condition overall.
The hands are dauphine hands typical of watches from the 1960s.The indexes are bullet-shaped, with the 6, 9 and 12 o'clock sections having two of them in a row. It is a simple combination, but this thick index accentuates it.
Vintage watches of the so-called three major brands come in many variations, and yet, due to the small number produced, it is a major feature that there are rarely exactly the same pieces with the same reference.
The movement is equipped with automatic winding Cal.K1072. This Jaeger-LeCoultre movement was supplied exclusively to Vacheron Constantin and Audemars Piguet (as Cal.K2072).
Features such as the guilloché-engraved 18k gold rotor and ruby rollers on the rotor supports can be seen.
This movement is not only artistic, but also highly reliable in terms of operation as it has obtained the Geneva Seal, which is stricter than chronometer standards.

About Complete Service
Complete service, sometime called overhaul is the work of disassembling a mechanical product down to its individual parts, cleaning and reassembling it to bring it closer to its new state of performance.
Roughly speaking, the overhaul procedure is as follows.
1. Separate into case and movement
2. Disassemble the movement
3. Inspection and pre-cleaning of wear condition of each part
4. Wash parts with a special machine
5. Lubrication and assembly
6. Waterproof test
7. Final adjustment and running test.
Some movements are made up of hundreds of parts, but it is a very meticulous process of disassembling them one by one, inspecting them all, cleaning them, and reassembling them.
If you don't overhaul, the oil will deteriorate just like a car, and the risk of wear and damage to parts increases, causing a decrease in accuracy and, in severe cases, not working.
There is also the reason that it will be very expensive to replace parts after they are found to be damaged, so we recommend overhauling once every 2-3 years for economical and long-term use.
About Polishing
Vintage watches have been used for decades, and even the stainless steel used in many watches has rounded corners that were originally sharp, and has many small scratches even though the mirror finish should be beautiful. state.
At Arbitro, some watches are sold with a new finish, based on the idea that you can purchase them in beautiful condition and use them for a long time.
In particular, gold-cased dress watches are finished to bring out the best of the precious metal case.
The watches sold by us that have been given a new finish are shot in very high definition, so you can see that the edges stand out and the light is reflected by the mirror finish.
Also, depending on the case or bracelet, there are cases where multiple finishes such as mirror finish and hairline finish are mixed, but there are not many craftsmen who can distinguish between them and finish them at a high level.
In addition, the “thinness of the case” is also a part that is greatly influenced by the skill of the craftsman.
A watch that has become thinner and has thinner lugs is far from its original design, and the appearance becomes unbalanced.
It is a very precise work that brings the case closer to the original finish by eliminating scratches and dents while reducing the thickness of the case to the utmost limit.
Of course, there are cases where it is better to use the watch as it is, in order to emphasize the history of the watch and its original condition.
We look at each watch and judge whether it is best to finish it before selling it.
