In Context

At 37 mm it sits just under the modern norm — the band that suits the widest spread of wrists. At 8 mm thick it is about average for a modern wristwatch. The case back is open, so the movement is visible without taking the watch apart, and the sapphire crystal will resist everything short of deliberate abuse. Rated to 30 m, it is protected against rain and splashes and nothing beyond that.

The movement is hand-wound, so winding it becomes part of the day rather than something the watch does for you. Its 31-hour reserve wants wearing most days; leave it off and it stops. At 18,000 vph the seconds hand advances 5 times a second, the slower and more audible rate of an older design.

33580/000G-B008 is one of 4 executions of the 33580/000G base reference. Underneath they are the same watch; what separates this one is a purple dial and a white gold case. It was a limited edition.

1003SQRH2 is a skeletonized version of the 1003; 1003SQRH is another example.

7 other watches in the library run the Vacheron Constantin 1003 SQRH2.
