Where it has succeeded in creating the utmost slimness in its manual winds, Vacheron Constantin had more difficulty in giving a major diet to its automatic calibres which were all above the 5mm thickness line. However, in 1966 they started work on creating an ultra thin automatic and in 1967 the 2.45mm thick calibre 1120 was launched, with the particularity of having the rotor placed on a “rail” with the mass turning around the movement and not on top of it. That year 3 references were launche, Ref 7398 (launched in Sept 1967) ref 7399 (launched Oct 1967) and ref 7400 (launched Dec 1967). A year later a date is added to calibre 1120, renamed cal 1121 for this version.
