Vacheron ConstantinOverseas Dual Time

Vacheron Constantin launched its latest generation Overseas series in 2016 - a model line originally debuted in 1996. Somewhat underappreciated next to sports offerings from Patek Philippe and Audemars Piguet, the Overseas has impressive levels of finishing to rival the other “holy trinity” members.

As part of the current collection, this Dual-Time was launched in 2017, incorporating a useful complication neatly laid out on its deep blue dial. The 41mm stainless-steel case is highly nuanced with a polished bezel containing satin-finished plots. The underside has an exhibition case back showing the in-house calibre 5110 DT.

This Geneva Seal hallmarked movement has a yellow gold winding rotor and a 60-hour power reserve. A standout feature of the watch is the practical quick-change strap system and tool-free micro-adjustment, this means that the blue rubber strap can be swiftly changed for the stainless steel bracelet or the alligator strap that are included in the set.

This 2020 example is presented in excellent condition, any dirt or dust visible in the pictures has been subsequently removed. There is a light scuff to the bezel at the 4 o’clock position. The alligator strap has some bend from being fastened around the cushion in the box; it has never been worn on the wrist. The bracelet is in unworn condition.

Also included in the sale are the box, certificate of origin, guarantee, booklets a stainless steel bracelet and a factory alligator strap.

All watches offered for sale are searched and cleared against The Watch Register database and a certificate is available to the winning bidder upon request.
