Vacheron Constantin’s Overseas family is the brand’s luxury sports watch proposal, a well-furnished collection with everything from simple three-handers to sophisticated perpetual calendars, tourbillons and chronographs.

If a conservative bastion of watchmaking like Rolex proposes a 42mm white gold watch on a black rubber strap as the epitome of sporty elegance, well, you’ll have to admit that times have changed. Rolex seems to have tapped into the zeitgeist for larger luxury sports watches doubling up as watches that can be worn […]
When it was introduced in 2011, the Annual Calendar Regulator 5235G raised some eyebrows among Patek Philippe’s more conservative collectors.
