Agree that the modern Overseas - especially the DualTime - is an incredibly versatile piece. It truly is a “dressy sports watch” - depending on what strap you’re using. It has amazing innovation, like a great micro-adjust system, that will impress you once you try it on. Thanks for the perspective.

Integration of the Maltese Cross into the link design of the bracelet is brilliant!

my favourite non-Rolex sports watch

Just bought the gen 3 black dial... simply stunning. It’s a great watch and this will be the icon watch that doesn’t change ever again. It took VC a while to get it right but good things come to those who wait!

If only VC spent half of what PP and AP spend on marketing, they too would have people lining up on waiting lists for the Overseas!

VC is my favorite watch brand. Hands down.

In a world when Rollie GMTs on the grey market are the same price as 4500Vs (with an attainable discount) .. hand finished, Geneva seal, multiple straps.. it would be crazy not to consider the Overseas as an option

Waiting lists for the blue VC Overseas 4500V has begun all around the world. You were spot on.

Having owned dozens of Patek, AP’s and others to include RM, Journe, Lange & Rolex, I just picked up my very 1st Vacheron Overseas and am very happy with it. The exchangeable bracelets/straps are outstanding and the fact that this is a hand finished holy trinity piece for the price of a Rolex GMT is incredible. I have the 3rd generation 3-hand automatic/date with black dial and am enjoying the rubber strap most as it reminds me of my Aquanaut. The fit is phenomenal and the piece is actually very robust. An issue I’ve always had with the Nautilus/Aquanaut & Royal Oak pertains to the brushed bezel, which scratches if you look at it too hard. Once scratched, your eyes go straight to the defect and no one other than the factory can restore the finish to it’s original state.....no one (I’ve tried believe me). The VC Overseas could be dragged on the back of your car and still look cool. Great review guys, thank you 👌🏻

I much prefer the VC Overseas collection over the PP and AP. I’ve spent far too much time in the Vacheron Constantin Boutique in Zurich drooling over the Overseas. I love the Simple Date and for sure prefer the Gen-3 across the board. They made 38 special dial representing the Canton of Zurich flag colors. 38 representing VC’s address at 38 Bahnhofstrasse in Zurich. At $20,000. USD, I find it very nice and a reasonable value. THEN....I start asking myself do I really like this more than my $6,000.~$12,000 Rolex beaters. I still haven’t bought a VC, but anything is possible. I’ll be in Zurich in September. As usual, great subject and video man! Thanks!

An absolute grail. Always great videos from you, man. Thank you.

Stunning video! Your ability to explain things through a designers eyes makes me look at watches in a completely different way 👍🏻

Fascinating. Love the historical trajectory and analogy to armor design features.

A watch for experts in horology, very beautiful, very good and discreet. I love It! I wish I had any VC Overseas, but unfortunately I can never have one.

Another wonderful overview of an iconic watch that is often overlooked. Well done ID Guy.

Have the RO 15500 and VC dual time. Both are great watches. Yet, the VC dual time has been getting so much more wrist time as it’s so versatile (especially with strap changing system) and understated.

Another excellent vid and a beautiful piece. I checked it out myself a couple months ago, and the boutique volunteered a discount without me even asking or any commitment to buy. It's not a wanted piece, but I bet your vid will change a lot of minds!

Awesome video. Your explaining of the design, cold and accurate is just wonderful, it is the opposite of what watchfinder does, he is full of pasion, but both channels, to me right now, are BY FAR the best ones when it comes to watches. A colaboration would be awesome, it would be like the Top Gear for watches.

Great vid, with as always, great and informed narration. I love my 3 pieces, as one does become three with the quick release system and bracelet, leather an rubber straps you decide on how it presents itself!

Love the new design, especially the bezel. Keep up the good work. Great videos.

Very underated watch , would love to own one.

If Vacheron decides to produce the Everest prototype (or some variation of it). It WILL be on my wrist. One can only hope they keep the dark finish on the movement and the black/orange pebble dial design. It is my absolute favorite of the Overseas designs.

Time to start saving for an overseas. Great video

There's no way I can post this without sounding annoying, so please forgive me, but seeing as it's one of your favourite words, the pronunciation of "congruence" is with emphasis on the first syllable :) Really like the VC Overseas and the size is perfect on my small wrist. Dislike the hands though, which seem 70s in a "bad" way

Wow I have to agree, I really do not like the Royal Oak and the simple blue Nautilus is nice or nicer perhaps? I have not done my homework on the overseas (you have done a lot for me), it’s almost perfect and the bracelet is wonderful. In spite of the ease of swopping out straps, it would never leave the bracelet if it were mine. Love simple 3 hand dials so the date bothers me at the 3 position, I would of preferred 6 for symmetry or a no date. Dare say I could live with that should I ever be in a position to buy one though. Really enjoyed the video, thank you.

Vacheron totally schooled AP and Patek here. This whole line is a slam dunk, from start to finish.

That small Maltese Cross reminds me of the cheeky little 3 leaf clover you get on Alfas, I love it

Beautiful watch. To me the design is straight from 1970s. I like the sharp lines of the bezel/dial and that braclet is very sharp. To me it's more than a watch it's more like artwork for your wrist. I would have one in a heartbeat but I have heart and head set on getting a Rolex explorer 1655 as discussed in one of your previous videos.

The storage unit door style dial is memorable.

Not so sure about the original, it’s not as timeless as RO and the Nautilus but the new Overseas is just perfectly designed, if perhaps not executed, in every regard.

Wow, you bring so much information on design that I want take another look at the overseas. Good one!

Such a beautiful watch. I wish they had a model with no date, or other, complications but nobody seems to do this in luxury watches.

Great vid IDGuy per usual. As Clyve said - great waking up to this kind of content and a nice coffee. I really like the VC 3 hander. So much versatility. Yet, if I could pick, I'd take the Jumbo 15202. Just really like the industrial look of that watch and it happened to be created in my birth year of 1972. That said, roughly $40k on the secondary market for the 15202 vs $16k for the VC 3 hander? Just no way the Jumbo is twice the watch of the VC and no way I'm throwing down $40k for the delicate movement of the 15202. Missing the seconds hands stinks too.

Amazing looking watch - deserves totally to be part of the holy trinity

Brilliant review. So much so that it caused me to visit a VC Boutique and see the blue dial reference on my wrist. It’s now on my shortlist. Thanks.

Great video. Tried one of these (4500V), it wore quite large on my 7.5" wrist. Personally I don't like the chronograph chapter ring on the 3 hander and GMT. It's a useless feature and makes the dial look busy. Also the second hand is extended to reach the chapter ring and it looks loo long. Why didn't they put 24 hour markings on the chapter ring for the GMT model? The numbers could have been small and subtle, at least it would have a function. Finally the lack of hacking seconds on a sports watch of this calibre is just an oversight.

This is my pick over the 2 , i think this has the perfect balance of being masculine with a good amount of elegance , just like a gentleman in a sharp suit. I find AP is too industrial while the Patek soft . I like my watches with both elements for a more balanced look.....but thats just me, and the VC cross is cool. My only complaint is they should have kept the big date

I really enjoy your videos - they’re always very well done, and often get me to reconsider a watch/brand I previously didn’t care for. Not here, though, sadly, and it’s not your fault - I apparently just don’t “get” VC, since not a single watch in their current catalogue appeals to me at all 😔

Your commentary is on throughout. The many APRO variations are laughably constrained by the design cues of 1972. The capper on this topic is this: Vacheron needs to control their distribution, strangle grey market channels, and protect their collectors' wallets.

Excellent review. Spot on. Great video

I would love a theee handed OS with no date. Great video

best watch review i have seen in a long time without live footage of the piece; should have talked a bit about the in-house movement with the Geneva seal, which is stunning and a huge improvement. The OS is definitely in Nautilus/RO territory now

If it didn’t have a date window to me it would be perfection . I still love the Overseas the most out of the three top brands . The watch band attachment method is brilliant design .

The Vacheron Constantin Overseas is one of the most beautiful sport watch in the world. More beautiful then Audemars Piguet, Patek Philippe and Rolex. I like Vacheron Constantin maltese cross style case and bracelet. the transparent case back and gold compass rotor are wonderful.

Also, the watch at 7:52 is absolutely elegant as hell.

Vacheron's blue dial is best in class imo

love it for years. will get one in some point of my live 100%

สวยมากครับ ที่สุดในปัจจุบันเลยครับ

I'm going to pick up a couple and mod them. Maybe 3 and keep one as is.

Excellent discussion on design cues

So I need to swop my Milgauss GV Black dial for a SH Vascheron Constantin Overseas 👍🏻

Excellent review. There is a picture starting at 4:41 of a no date version with grey dial. It has emerged during its introduction but is not displayed at VC's home page. Does anybody have more information on that model?

Well done, very compelling arguments!

"Icon" is easily the most overused term in the watch world. The overseas never has been an icon, actually, before 2016 no one even cared about the watch. Icon implies instant recognisability, this watch can be mistaken for every other steel sports watch out there.

Like the Chronograph version of these models

I wish they would size up the 222 to around 40mm.

The VC Overseas is my grail, if had the money it would get my fullest attention, and be worn with pride on my wrist every weekend.

VC Chrono Blue Overseas a perfect daily watch if you can afford one. Nice video mate.

Thank you very much Sir for this nice and informative video.. Could you please make a video about the Alpine Chopard, since it also resembles some of Genta watches especially PP.. Thanks again.

I find the bezel garish. I still like this far more than the nautilus or royal oak.

The new bracelet should be called modular rather than integrated. By definition something is not "integrated" if it is removable. If the watch head can be used with other straps it cannot be integrated

It’s too big unfortunately, disappointed when I tried it

Richemont has been brilliant with bracelets and straps. VC, Cartier and Baume and Mercier all offer this feature.

great Video!! love these watches - do you know where the name overseas comes from? makes sense with the gmt version or world time - but just wondering the origins???

The watch at 1:08 is knock-out nice.

Great vid. The watches are vastly overpriced for such a plain looking watch, but I love the bracelet because its not like any other.

Brilliant video. Thanks

VC overseas three hander is my end all watch for collectin.

What is the ref number of the first one with a cross in the bottom right of the case?

In my honest opinion the vacheron overseas tourbillion is better looking then the nautilus and royal oak why? Vacheron made a tourbillion into a sports watch that's no joke

This is completely subjective, but, this watch wins the award for the best bracelet and the worst bezel in high end watches. Incredible watch overall. If anyone can sway my opinion, please do. I would love to like everything about this watch. it's a masterpiece.

Always look forward to your opinions, but no i would not go in the water with an Overseas, that's what my skx is for. I don't even get my 50 Fathoms wet. I like the Overseas, the main problem for me is value retention, seems like they drop quite a bit if you want to get out of them, since Rolex is unattainable, people are looking for SS sports alternatives these watches are getting more attention, should the Submariner become available , you could be losing half your money or more.

I love the design of the 222 that you showed and believe that Vacheron would have been better off sticking to that classic 70’s styling rather than opting for the Overseas redesign. The Overseas has some good features as you have pointed out such as the simple strap / bracelet interchangeability, nice dials, great movement and nice finishing. However, I cannot look at those lovely dials without being distracted by the horrible glare of the polished ‘cog-wheel’ bezel which seems like an overly prominent feature of the watch. It isn’t a subtle design like the Royal Oak or Nautilus but the jutting bezel of the Overseas makes it look like the Punk child of the two. I’m sorry but, it’s not for me. It definitely couldn’t be my only watch. The Historiques 1921, now that’s a great Vacheron! Another great video my friend. I eagerly await your next video. I’m hooked. Have a great weekend brother! ✊

Love it

To put it in perspective, the AP is a BMW 7 Series and the Nautilus is a Benz S Class...the VC is a Genesis G90.

I've admired this watch for nearly a year now. Since I was made aware of the Overseas really. And then yesterday I discovered the VC Overseas doesn't have a hacking seconds hand. I'm at a bit of a loss of what to think. I still love it but... Oh why?

Wonderful description of one of my favourite watches. I would have liked some attention paid to the beautiful movement.

Unfortunately it's quite big. Should have been 40mm max.

I’m a big fan of Vacheron, perhaps they are far rarer than the ubiquitous PP And PP. The best Overseas has to be the Ultra Thin.

Great video, loved it. BUT - which would you choose ? VC, AP or PP?? Hype aside, which is the better watch?

Stunning 🤩

Yeah... but they both moved the back of the watch to the front.

I agree with all of it. I love it and I would buy it. Alas, it's too big. Cool how they snuck the WG at 40mm, but in fact, they should both (SS and WG) be 39.

Is it just me or does the original still looks by far the best out of all the lot?

Love everything about this watch... except the date window. It just kills what should be a timeless classic. Everything else is just brilliant.

An ultra-thin threehander in steel for 20-30k is going to be a game changer. SIHH 2020?

Great review ID Guy! You've managed to communicate what I was unable to articulate.

To your final point about VC’s impact on the 70’s nouveau retro-revival, I would love to see Seiko contribute to the conversation.

I am not so gond of it: the hour hand has been too short in all versions. Case size is too large in current version.

I don't get why the Overseas date in SS is twice the cost of the Quai de I’lle when they both use the same movement. The main difference is the gold rotor in the Overseas...but that can't be worth $ 10k can it?

Considering a v3 and selling a sub and a few tudors to fund it.

overseas is gorgeous but the price is outrageous

This is beautiful

Prefer this over anything from AP

The older overseas looks better imho. I know the new one looks more sporty and sharp, but my god the size is just way too big!

Richmont’s pimp hand is strong....

Nice

VC second gen chrono (49150) > third gen chrono

I'm happy i don't have money to buy this. Otherwise, I had to choose between aquanaut and this.
