It’s not often that one sees a tourbillon complication in a sports watch but leave it to one of Swiss matchmaking’s “Big Three” manufacturers, Vacheron Constantin, to defy convention by introducing the very first tourbillon wristwatch to join their Overseas collection. Produced in the 1970s, the Overseas is one of the oldest-running lines from modern-day Vacheron. The Overseas Tourbillon allows us to see true watchmaking history on display with a nod to retro-styled aesthetics and a striking blue dial. The Overseas is the modern iteration of the iconic Vacheron Constantin 222, having evolved through the years with this tourbillon version being the most complicated. It comes with interchangeable straps supported by a quick-change strap/bracelet system, allowing you to easily change the band depending on the occasion.
The oldest continuously active watch manufacture that is still in operation, the brand has had a long, uninterrupted history in watchmaking since its establishment in 1755. Built by Swiss watchmaker Jean-Marc Vacheron, the brand is one of the few manufactures to employ artisans including gem-setters, enamel painters and hand engravers in-house. Through the centuries, the brand has produced watches for a number of luminaries including several European and Asian royal families, writers, world leaders and inventors. In 2015, to commemorate the 260th anniversary of the brand, Vacheron Constantin introduced its most complicated watch, the Reference 57260 pocket watch, weighing 957 grams and consisting of 57 total complications including a grand sonnerie and petit sonnerie, a perpetual Hebraic calendar, the date of Yom Kippur, a three axis-tourbillon, and a split-seconds chronograph. Since 1996, the brand has been incorporated as a subsidiary of the Swiss conglomerate Richemont Group.
