The Vacheron Constantin Overseas is the ultimate sports watch for collectors burned out by Audemars Piguet, Patek Philippe, and Lange hype. 2023 Vacheron Constantin Overseas chronograph and automatic models are true Swiss watch "Holy Trinity" alternatives to the hyped and price-prohibitive usual suspects. But previous generations of the Overseas also offer tremendous value and variety. If you want to buy a Vacheron Constantin Overseas of any variety, tonight's show is your review guide to Vacheron's full range of sports watches.

Technically, the 1996 Vacheron Constantin Overseas was the first of its line, but it drew directly from the design language of the 1977 Vacheron 222 sports watch. As a contemporary of the Gerald Genta designed Royal Oak 5402 and Patek Philippe Nautilus 3700, the Jorg Hysek-designed 222 set the tone for the revival of Vacheron sports watches in the mid 1990s. The 1996 Overseas was designed by a team of freelance watch designer Dino Modolo and future Vacheron design chief Vincent Kaufmann. In 1999, an Overseas Chronograph model joined the lineup. The first generation Overseas Self-Winding was powered by a Girard-Perregaux caliber 3100, and the Overseas Chronograph was powered by a Frederic Piguet 1185.

The second generation VC Overseas arrived in 2004 with a both chronograph and self-winding models. An Overseas Dual Time arrived in 2006, and the Overseas collection continued expanding to include a perpetual calendar chronograph before the end of the second generation production run.

2016 was a tough year for the luxury watch industry as a whole, and that frustrated the launch of Vacheron's third-generation Overseas. Despite a challenge marketplace, the Gen III Overseas clearly was the best watch in the integrated bracelet sports watch class. Vacheron launched the Overseas III with quick-release bracelets, accessory straps that could be swapped without tools, display casebacks, manufacture movements, Geneva hallmark finish and decoration, and feature-packed bracelets with built in micro adjustment sliders. Models included the traditional Self Winding and Chronograph, but a Perpetual Calendar and Ultra Slim prestige models were available for watch collectors who wanted even more. 2017 brought a new Overseas Dual Time. 2019 greeted the arrival of the first ever Overseas Tourbillon Automatic.

Tonight's show is a full watch collector's guide to the Vacheron Constantin Overseas collection.
