Overseas Collection THE OVERSEAS BY VACHERON CONSTANTIN:A CONTEMPORARY SPIRIT FOR A STORIED DESIGN. Its sophisticated construction and resistance to magnetic fields underscore the powerful personality of this storied design. Conceived in the spirit of age, the second-generation OVERSEAS combines discretion and self-assured good looks. Whispering of distant horizons and faraway places, the Overseas design suggests worlds to discover and opportunities to explore, as befits a true legend in time. 
Introduced in 1996, the Overseas design by Vacheron Constantin instantly made its mark with utter distinction, quickly winning recognition as one of the most accomplished timepieces in its class. Its crisp, stylish lines and functional efficiency compose a powerful personality that sets a unchallenged standard for timekeeping excellence. Then, updated with a variety of discreet yet significant features, a new Overseas generation appeared. It both perpetuated its predecessor’s unique character and confirmed the design’s enduring relevance. Wedding dependable sturdiness to understated elegance, the new design fully reaffirmed the Overseas’ sporting spirit. Impeccably functional in every respect, the
Overseas design sealed an alliance between superlative watchmaking and the
spirit of the age. The new generation naturally perpetuates the inspired blend
of technology and aesthetics born in 1996, this time with even more smoothly
flowing lines and dimensions increased by a few millimetres for all three
versions –chronograph, man’s and woman’s models. Its construction underscores the Overseas’ coolly assertive personality. A sturdy case in the finest stainless steel expresses the design’s confirmed resilience. Its bezel, featuring a Maltese cross pattern derived from the make’s long-standing symbol, and case back are screwed tightly to the frame, compressing numerous water tightness gaskets so as to provide efficient protection against moisture and the most minute particles of foreign matter. This constructional approach provides full water resistance to 150 meters (approx. 500 feet) for the man’s and chronograph models and 50 meters (nearly 165 feet) for the woman’s. Screw locked setting crowns and chronograph push- pieces complete the watches’ external protection systems. Inside the case, the movement benefits from equally efficient protection. Mechanical or quartz, every Overseas movement is totally shielded by a soft-iron antimagnetic screen. The latter prevents today’s innumerable magnetic fields from affecting the movement’s rate and precision. Totally redesigned for ergonomic excellence, the Overseas bracelet provides unprecedented suppleness and comfort on the wrist. Easy to adjust, it comes with a newly designed three-ply invisible clasp with twin safety catch. The exclusive design of its links and its meticulous finish give the bracelet its arresting good looks that enhance the play of light along its entire length. Featuring an exclusive decor, Overseas dials and hands are coated with a luminescent substance for optimum legibility at all times.
