The Legacy of Vacheron Constantin Overseas Watches
The Overseas is one of the most famous and sought-after Vacheron Constantin watches. This luxury sports watch was introduced by the watchmaker in 1996 and is considered the direct descendant of the company’s 222 collection. The older timepiece was Vacheron Constantin’s first watch in the luxury sports watch category. It was released in 1977 to commemorate the company’s 222nd anniversary, hence the name.
The 222 and the Vacheron Overseas follow in the footsteps of the older watches in the niche, starting with Audemars Piguet’s Royal Oak, which was released in 1972. The Patek Philippe Nautilus and IWC’s Ingenieur were also released in 1976, cementing the fame of the luxury sports watch category.
Unlike the Royal Oak and Nautilus, which were designed by the legendary Gerald Genta, the Overseas watch was created by designer Dino Modolo. However, the 222 and Overseas drew inspiration from older watches, featuring elements such as a porthole-shaped casing and an integrated bezel. Vacheron Constantin’s sports watches had a few unique features, particularly the toothed Bezel with six to eight teeth, depending on the version. This unique design feature was inspired by Vacheron Constantin's logo (known as the Maltese cross).
The Overseas collection was designed as a daily companion for the well-to-do traveler. The original release for this collection included both steel and solid gold models. In 2004, the first significant redesign of the Vacheron Constantin Overseas collection was released. The redesign made the watch sportier and more powerful-looking. Over a decade later (in 2016), the watchmaker reinvented the collection, tweaking its aesthetic codes with more contemporary design features and introducing a suite of in-house movements.
What Does a Vacheron Constantin Overseas II Watch Cost
Although it isn’t as well-known as the Genta-designed Nautilus or Royal Oak, the Vacheron Overseas is still one of the most popular luxury sports watches. The collection ranges from basic time and date models powered by an automatic movement to more complex models that cost several hundred thousand dollars.
Retail Cost
Entry-level Vacheron Constantin Overseas watches (the self-winding automatic model) cost an average of $25,000 at retail. Naturally, the versions of this watch with complications have a higher retail price. For instance, Overseas models with a Dual Time complication start at around $30,900, while the Chronograph Vacheron Constantin Overseas price is about $35,600. Overseas Perpetual Calendar watches cost about $115,000.
How Much Does a Pre-Owned Vacheron Constantin Overseas Cost
The pre-owned market offers several affordable options for the VC Overseas. You can find older quartz-powered models of this watch from the year 2000 and earlier for as low as $4,100 to $6,000. Mechanical men’s Overseas watches from the same period may cost between $10,500 and $13,000 on average, depending on whether you’re buying the stainless steel or gold version. On average, complicated models like automatic chronographs from the early 2000s will cost you around $14,000.
If you’re buying any of the current Overseas models in the secondary market, you can expect to spend about $28,500 for simple three-hand models with no complications. A few Dual Time Overseas watches are also close to this price range. However, for models with perpetual calendars or tourbillon functions, you’ll need a larger budget, falling within the $51,000 to $120,000 range.
Key Features of Vacheron Constantin Overseas Watches
Integrated Bracelet
An integrated bracelet is a defining characteristic of most luxury sports watches, including the Vacheron Overseas. Watches with this design don’t have traditional lugs like other watches. Instead, the bracelet flows seamlessly from the case, adding to these watches' sporty but elegant aesthetics.
Maltese Bezel
Vacheron Constantin Overseas watches are all characterized by a unique toothed Bezel. Earlier versions of this watch had six-toothed Bezels, while newer models from 2016 and later now feature an eight-toothed bezel. The Maltese Cross inspired this unique bezel design, which is also Vacheron Constantin's logo.
Complications
Many watches within the Overseas collection are simple automatic models with no complications. However, the watchmaker offers several models with advanced features or complications, including perpetual calendars, dual time zones, and a world timer with up to 37 different time zones. Vacheron Constantin has also produced a tourbillon version of this watch since 2019.
Water and Magnetic Resistance
The watches in the Vacheron Constantin Overseas collection are built to be extra durable. They are protected against magnetic fields of up to 25,000 A/m. These watches also offer water resistance of 5 to 15 bars, depending on the specific model. This makes them suitable for most water-based activities, from surfing to swimming.
