Which one I'd pick
Overseas vs Royal Oak and Nautilus: it's the easiest of the three to own: the market premium is about 30% over retail instead of double or more, and the three straps make it a do-everything watch.
What to check before you buy
- Straps and tools: a full set should include the bracelet, the extra straps and the papers. Missing straps are expensive to replace.
- Box and papers: the warranty card matters for resale.
- Fakes and red flags: buy from an established dealer and get it authenticated at this price.

History
Vacheron Constantin has been making watches since 1755. Since 1880 it has used the Maltese cross as its symbol, inspired by a component of the barrel.
The Overseas launched in 1996 as the maison's luxury sports and travel watch, building on the design language of the 1977 ref. 222.
The current 4520V/210A-B128 is 41 mm and 10.69 mm thick, with a Maltese-cross-inspired bezel, 150 m water resistance and a quick-change system for its steel bracelet, leather and rubber straps.
Vacheron Constantin, founded in 1755, claims the longest uninterrupted watchmaking history.
