Introduction

Released in 2016, the latest generation Overseas model has modernized the collection's aesthetics, upgraded its construction and improved Vacheron Constantin's flagship sports model in leaps and bounds. Drawing its inspiration from Vacheron's older 222 collection from 1977, the Overseas features a polished Maltese cross-inspired bezel and Maltese cross-inspired bracelet links that call back to the watchmaker's iconic logo. Furthermore, with 120m of water resistance, an incredible quick release system for changing between the metal bracelet and rubber or leather straps and its stunning dials ranging from blue to black to silver and more, they are a great all-around addition to any collection as wearability, utility and beauty have all been prioritized above all else. With Vacheron's incredible craftsmanship on display, too, the 3rd generation Overseas is a marvellous timepiece that is only beginning to gain the traction within the market that it deserves. Launched in 2022 as perhaps the crown jewel within the collection, the ref. 4300V/220R-B642 showcases the craftsmanship that Vacheron have to offer within their Overseas collection. Made of 18kt rose gold, its construction is luxurious, but that’s not just where it ends. Indeed, the Overseas Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin Skeleton’s piece de resistance is its skeletonised dial, as its name suggests. Providing an almost entirely uninterrupted view of the automatic cal. 1120/3 QPSQN/1 below that allows the watch to be an incredibly thin 8.1mm tall, this timepiece’s display balances its function with stunning craftsmanship and intelligent design. A perfect watch in many regards, this timepiece proves exactly why Vacheron are as highly regarded by collectors as they are.
