Their entry came in the form of the 222, from which the design language was inspiration for the current Overseas collection. The Overseas models compete with other watches such as the Patek Philippe Nautilus, Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, IWC Ingenieur, and Piaget Polo in the category of 'freshest take on 1970s sport icons', and often finds itself winning its category in terms of design, value, and variety of complications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis particular example, an Overseas Reference 4500V, features a solid stainless steel case with an integrated-style (but easily swappable!) bracelet with a signed deployant clasp, a Maltese Cross stylized bezel, a signed screw-down crown, and an absolutely stunning, deep glossy blue dial with applied luminous indices and a matching handset.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003ePowering this piece is Vacheron's automatic winding Calibre 5100 with a 60-hour power reserve and a gorgeous engraved 22k yellow gold rotor — thankfully visible via a sapphire exhibition caseback.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe current Overseas collection is not only — dare we say, great value — next to similar integrated bracelet pieces from other \u003cem\u003enotable brands, \u003c\/em\u003ebut also \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eare proper sports watches.
