Overseas

The history of the Overseas dates back to the reference "222" introduced by Vacheron Constantin in 1977 on the occasion of the 222nd anniversary of the house. It was the answer to the Royal Oak by Audemars Piguet, launched in 1972, and the Patek Philippe Nautilus that followed. Today, the Overseas enjoys enormously high popularity ratings, much like its rivals. In addition to its modern design, the watch features a waterproof case and a soft iron core that protects against magnetism, making it a reliable companion for daily use and overseas travel.

In the right time

The return of the 80s

Everything comes back. At some point. Even my grandmother knew that and the more mature you become, the more you realise: damn, it really is like that. When Rolex presented the GMT-Master II as a yellow gold and bicolour version on a Jubilé bracelet last year, I immediately felt something like my own personal Werthers Echte moment. Only not with gold-wrapped caramel sweets, but with the watches I knew from my childhood. And so I still remember, as if it were yesterday, the picture of TV legend Horst Tappert smiling at me from the cover of a TV magazine with a gold GMT on a Jubilee bracelet.

How deep is deep?

When I started wearing watches at a young age, everything was quite simple for me. If the words “Water Resistant” were written on the back cover, you had to be careful. On the other hand, if it said “30M”, everything was fine. Off to the beach with it and have fun. I wore those watches in the sea for years without a care in the world - for swimming, showering and bathing anyway.
