Vacheron Constantin Overseas 42050 - Blue Dial - First Generation 35mm - Watch Only

The first-generation Overseas in reference 42050 is Vacheron Constantin's mid-size sports watch in steel, with the unmistakable Maltese cross-style bezel that pays homage to the brand's 222 heritage. Powered by a COSC-certified automatic and finished with a deep blue sunburst dial, it remains one of the most refined integrated-bracelet sports watches of its era.
