The story · Since 1977
Vacheron Constantin put its Maltese cross on the Overseas bezel and, in 2016, gave it an easy-fit system to swap bracelet and straps without a tool, a feature entirely new to the house. A titanium and tantalum Overseas went to the top of Everest in 2019.

For its 222nd anniversary in 1977 Vacheron Constantin launched the 222, designed by Jorg Hysek: a 37 mm monobloc steel case 7.2 mm thick with a small Maltese cross at 5 o'clock. Production ended in 1985 and the 333 and Phidias kept the integrated-bracelet idea alive.
the Maltese bezel: Launched in 1996 as Vacheron moved to the Vendome group, the first Overseas was led by head of design Vincent Kaufmann with independent designer Dino Modolo. Its 37 mm tonneau case kept the 222's size but swapped the notched bezel for eight arrowhead cut-outs drawn from the Maltese cross; a chronograph followed in 1999.
The 2004 generation grew to 42 mm, lost the crown guards and gained a soft-iron anti-magnetic cage. Its new bracelet used links shaped like half Maltese crosses, with the centre link running up to the bezel. A Dual Time came in 2006 and the first Overseas on an integrated rubber strap a year later.
Under Kaufmann's creative direction the 2016 Overseas shrank to 41 mm, cut the bezel from eight notches to six and moved to in-house Hallmark of Geneva calibres. It introduced a tool-free system to swap bracelet and straps, and grew into world time, tourbillon and perpetual calendar models.
For the line's 30th anniversary Vacheron Constantin released a 200-piece azure Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin in white gold. The titanium Overseas Dual Time Cardinal Points descends from the watch made for Cory Richards.

2021. The Everest watch led to two limited-edition Overseas Everest models in 2021 and, in 2026, the four Cardinal Points Dual Times.
2019. Cory Richards carried a titanium and tantalum Overseas Dual Time to the top of Everest in 2019. He returned it to Vacheron Constantin, which sold it at Phillips' Game Changers charity auction: estimated $20,000 to $40,000, it hammered at $106,250 for the National Geographic Society.

No. The current Overseas has an integrated bracelet on Vacheron Constantin's interchangeable system, and the maker's specifications list the bracelet as interchangeable rather than giving a lug width. Strap makers such as Delugs sell straps made specifically for the Overseas.
Since 2016 the Overseas uses an easy-fit system: the release is hidden under the lugs, so bracelet and straps change by hand in seconds without a tool.
Usually three options: the metal bracelet plus two straps. The Cardinal Points Dual Time ships with a titanium bracelet and two rubber straps; the limited Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin 4300V with a white gold bracelet, a white and a denim blue rubber strap and a white gold pin buckle.
On current models, yes: the Perpetual Calendar clasp has a 2 mm per side micro-adjustment, and the titanium Cardinal Points bracelet uses the easy-fit adjustment system.
Not as a rule: the second generation (2004) brought a new half-Maltese-cross bracelet and, from 2007, integrated rubber straps, and only the 2016 generation introduced the current tool-free interchangeable system.
The gap between the two lugs that hold the strap, in millimetres. A new strap must match it exactly: 20 mm lugs take a 20 mm strap.
Most watches use spring bars, so any strap of the right width fits. Many smartwatches use their own band system instead, such as Apple Watch bands or Garmin QuickFit.
