Why We Love it
–The Holy Trinity of watch brands: Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet and Vacheron Constantin.
Far less understood than either of its respected compatriots, Vacheron Constantin has a legacy of producing some of the very finest haute horlogerie complications in history — and some of the loveliest.
Sports watches came later to VC, as pressure from the new “luxury sport watch” category introduced in the early 1970s forced the storied maison to evolve. Its entry came in the form of the 222, whose design language inspired 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, and often find favor by merit of design, value, and variety of complications.
This particular example, an Overseas Dual Time Reference 7900V, features an absolutely gorgeous, deep glossy blue dial with applied luminous indices, an AM/PM indicator, a date indicator at 6:00, a signed crown, and a fantastic, matching stainless steel bracelet with a signed deployant clasp.
In outstanding condition overall, this piece comes with an additional navy blue alligator leather strap, its matching stainless steel bracelet, and the rest of its factory goodies.
This is a watch that would have looked fresh in the 1970s, looks fresh now, and will look fresh in another 50 years.

Brand Story
+This expertise carried them through the 19th century, earning gold medals at National Exhibitions and blazing trails in the area of anti-magnetic timepieces. The 20th century saw further achievements, such as the opening of its boutique on the Quai de L’Ile in Geneva, where it still resides today. Even through the Depression and the Second World War, when many watch companies were forced to band together with competitors or else face closure, the manufacture continued to thrive—as it does to this day.
