The Signature Overseas Design

The modern Overseas collection, introduced in 2016, is distinguished by its tonneau-shaped case, a hexagonal bezel inspired by the Vacheron Constantin Maltese Cross, and an integrated bracelet featuring links of the same design. The collection also incorporates an integrated comfort extension system and an interchangeable strap and bracelet system that requires no tools.

Two Distinctive Dial Configurations

Despite their compact 34.5 mm diameter, both watches measure 9.3 mm in thickness and offer 150 metres of water resistance.

The pink gold model features a lacquered gold-toned dial with a sunray finish across the central section. Its pink gold hands and hour markers are coated with blue-emission Super-LumiNova.

The stainless steel version creates a striking contrast between the case and its dark burgundy lacquered dial. While retaining the same central finish, this model features a steel chapter ring separating the centre of the dial from the minute track. The date window at 3 o'clock is framed by a bevelled aperture with a polished outer edge and a grained inner surface.

Manufacture Calibre 1088/1

Both models are powered by the in-house Calibre 1088/1, protected by an additional soft iron anti-magnetic inner case.

The movement operates at 4 Hz, consists of 144 components, and provides a 40-hour power reserve. Visible through the sapphire crystal caseback is a 22-carat gold oscillating weight decorated with a compass rose.
