VPC, a brand renowned for its exceptional craftsmanship, has recently launched its newest offering, the Type 39VM dive watch. This model is presented as the world's thinnest 200-meter automatic diver, achieving an impressive case height of just 9.4mm, inclusive of its flat sapphire crystal. The Type 39VM builds upon the design principles of its predecessor, the Type 37HW, featuring characteristic lyre lugs that combine polished and brushed surfaces for a sophisticated contrast. The bracelet has undergone significant enhancements, now incorporating a toolless micro-adjustment mechanism and a quick-release system for added convenience. Additionally, the watch comes with an optional rubber strap, which also utilizes the new quick-release feature, enhancing versatility for enthusiasts.
The Type 39VM is equipped with a 120-click unidirectional bezel, featuring a matte black ceramic insert with lume-filled markings, ensuring excellent legibility. Available in two matte dial options, Graphite and Frost, both crafted by Cadranor, these dials feature a subtle powdered texture achieved through layered color applications. The minimalist dial design, with only the VPC logo and "Swiss Made" text, is complemented by polished applied hour markers and dauphine hands, providing clear time indication. Powering this intricate timepiece is a top-grade Sellita SW300-1B automatic caliber, offering a 56-hour power reserve and chronometer certification from COSC. The meticulous attention to detail extends to the movement's integration, with a significantly tighter handstack contributing to the watch's ultra-thin profile.
The Type 39VM represents a continued pursuit of design excellence and technical innovation in microbrand watchmaking. With its refined aesthetics, advanced functional features, and precise engineering, the watch not only meets but exceeds the expectations of discerning collectors. By focusing on creating a product that resonates deeply with its dedicated community, VPC ensures that each timepiece is not just an accessory but a testament to the enduring passion for horology.
