Is that a black dial?
I thought it was only coming in blue and silver dials. Either way I must confess that while I was wondering for a while if there would be a dual-time version to fit in between the time-only and the world timer, replacing the dial time from the last genera...
That’s a serious problem, and I thought much the same too!
Vacheron really has lost its way trying to keep itself relevant to the Royal Oak & Nautilus – they threw the baby out with the bathwater when designing the 3rd Gen Overseas range. This design is just far too convoluted for the simple task of telling the t...
The design gives me the strong impression that VC are conflicted over what the 3rd Gen Overseas should be.
Admittedly the old DT which used the same movement as the RO version did, and looked practically identical as a result, was dire – only JLC have managed to make it look acceptable – but this version could pass for almost any other brand’s offering. The la...
I agree with you about the date on this VC which is far too big for me and the AM/PM indicator which is... strange (and too big too)
I don’t like the UN DTs so I’m not the best one to judge if that was the way to follow (or something in the same vein). I definitely prefer the previous VC Overseas DT version even if it was, obviously, too close to the AP RO DT 😕 Best wishes Alkiro ...

I wanted to say the VC Overseas never came close to the the RO and Nautilus but I forgot about the 1st generation. Such a beautiful watch indeed. There definitely is a huge gap and difference between the 1st gen and whatever there is now. I do have to say...
I often forget about the 1st Gen – re-introduce the military dial with full lume numeral, at a sensible price.
Might steal sales from fed-up buyers waiting to get their hands on an Aquanaut, if not those looking for something quite different from the Nautilus and RO. Even those who didn’t get the Calatrava Pilot 5522, possibly.
Very nice, congrats!
Much cleaner than the previous Dual Time, I also like that they put the pusher on the crown side. Thanks for sharing! Cheers Henrik
IMO Better than the h i d e o u s previous version by m i l e s
too generic now though? Hmmm, Seiko Orient Rotary vibe here. Would probably suit a VC sub brand. Voila, The new Vudor Dual Time? Horrible Instagram Ho'Dinky style pic suggests early bird discount and .... jacket/shirt sleeve ratio is incorrect. C'mon VC
Let me talk with VC designer, please
Is it REALLY the very best that he/she/they can design for a dual time? Rolex explorer II copy paste AM PM indicator simply sucks 🤢 🤢 🤢 🤢 🤢 🤢 🤢 Poor VC, if these ones are the answeres to the perpetuating crisis, now i know why they've chosen Hodinkee as A...
