I am gladly writing my honest opinion from an enthusiastic watch collector’s point of view on my Vacheron Constantin Overseas Dual Time. Normal people can’t understand how a simple picture of a watch sent via WhatsApp can make your dream and Grail watch come true, and make you very Happy.

I opened my Authorised Dealer’s message and as soon as the picture popped up, my stomach reduced immediately! After years of wishing it and months of waiting even before seeing it in person… there it was, the opportunity of buying it. Of course I ran directly to the store.

I am lucky to own several sports, vintage and also modern timepieces and I can honestly say that every time I wear the Vacheron Constantin Overseas Dual Time, Ref. 79900V/ 110A-B333. I understand why is this underrated brand is part of the holy trinity watchmaking legacy.

Every part of the Vacheron Constantin Overseas, every detail feels and looks hand finished and it is great!! You can feel its substantial, heavy enough and top quality. It wears nicely broad across the wrist and sits comfortable and not chunky or big; you can definitely feel the presence.

The first thing I noticed by wearing it was the sound that the big solid gold rotor makes. It is funny but somehow in a strange way connects and has grown on me. The Dial comes in a very elegant metallic grey sunburst and thanks to the black and red contrasting hands and indices, makes it very easy to read.

The Vacheron Constantin Overseas has a screw down crown and its easy to set the local and the second time zone. A screw down date pusher makes it easy to set the date separately. The two pushers are located at 3 and 4 hour markers.

I think the bracelet is one of the best in the industry, if not the best. Its very comfortable, adjustable and comes with an easy release system which makes it perfect for fast, fun strap changing without the need of a tool. The steel sport bracelet also has micro-adjustments on both sides of the clasp and every link is removable so it can be made to really fit perfectly and comfortably on the wrist.

Just when you already think the Vacheron Constantin Overseas Dual Time is perfect it doesn’t stop there because it also comes with a nice black rubber strap a leather one and an extra buckle. The Maltese cross is shown everywhere… the bracelet, bezel, clasp, buckle, crown, and on the rotor. The display case back shows the beautiful in-house movement 5110DT which is wonderfully finished. The Geneve Hallmark appears on the movement and on the case.

The Vacheron Constantin Overseas Dual Time is 150m water resistant and has a beautiful full and elegant Lume. It is kind of hard for me to point some cons about this watch, because as you noticed I am still in my honey moon phase with it and loving it…

On a scale of 1-100.. I will give the Vacheron Constantin Overseas 70 for value (Price increased in 2022)
