About the Vacheron Constantin Overseas Collection
Pre-Owned Vacheron Constantin Overseas Watches
Introduced in 1996, the Vacheron Constantin Overseas collection marked the brand's modern answer to the luxury integrated sports watch — a category pioneered by the Royal Oak and Nautilus. Designed for travel, adventure, and everyday refinement, the Overseas has evolved to offer technical sophistication, bold aesthetics, and interchangeability, while staying rooted in the watchmaking values of the world's oldest continuously operating manufacture.
The Evolution of the Overseas
The first-generation Overseas watches captured attention with their tonneau-inspired case shape and integrated bracelet. One such example is the Overseas Chronograph 49140 , a robust stainless steel chronograph from the early years of the collection, marked by its Maltese cross-shaped bezel and strong 1990s styling.
The modern Overseas collection was reintroduced in 2016, with refined case finishing, in-house movements, and the brand's proprietary quick-change strap system. The Overseas with Blue Dial epitomizes this generation's elegance — a time-only model with automatic caliber, transparent caseback, and dial that shifts from navy to royal blue in varying light.
For those in need of added function, the Overseas Chronograph with Blue Dial adds a three-register chronograph complication powered by the in-house caliber 5200. Equally versatile is the Overseas Dual Time , which presents a refined travel complication with AM/PM indication and independently adjustable second time zone.
World travelers will also appreciate the Overseas World Time , one of the few high-luxury sports watches offering true world time functionality. It displays 37 time zones — including fractional zones — on a beautifully rendered three-tier dial.
At the pinnacle of the collection is the Overseas Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin in Rose Gold with Skeleton Dial . This haute horology reference marries the Overseas case with Vacheron Constantin's caliber 1120 QPSQ/1, offering a skeletonized view of the perpetual calendar complication within an ultra-slim rose gold case.

Comparison with the Nautilus and Royal Oak
The Overseas is often compared to the other "Holy Trinity" integrated sports models: the Patek Philippe Nautilus and the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak . While the Royal Oak leans toward avant-garde angularity and the Nautilus is known for its porthole case, the Overseas offers a softer, more rounded silhouette and a robust tool-watch sensibility. It also excels in practicality, thanks to Vacheron's quick-change strap system and 150m water resistance in most models.
