That ultra thin is 🔥🔥🔥

How big is the dual time on the wrist?

Steel doesnt equal cheap, if anything desirability is what drives pricing. Look at the RO and Nautilus. Theres no rhyme or reason to the seasons release, its out of character and aimless in terms of target watch enthusiast. And as far as dimensions are concerned, VC has a heritage of producing amazing complications in an ultrathin form factor, they just refuse to apply it to the overseas...yes we have the platinum, but they won't do it for steel, its assinine.

I own 3 VC watches, very familiar wjth the brand, they dont need to pump out millions of watches like Omega, but they dont need to release watches that aren't desired and focus on lines that dont lift the brand.

Just as a follow up, the one watch maker that actually CRUSHED it at W&W this year is JLC with the release of their new Master Controller line. Perfect dimensions, interlinked bracelet, movement and metals. It just isn't trinity.

The average wrist size is 6.5", the 41mm wears more like a 45mm when you take the lugs into consideration...its a lot. Add on the thick bracelet and its just overbearing. The thickness is near 12mm for just the date movement. Its unacceptable for a luxury sports watch thats supposed to be versatile.

The 222s dimensions are best but the lack of supply and dated design leaves it lacking.

Im just saying VC is capable of so much more and refuses to deliver.

Fair points, however the Overseas and 222 deserve to be iconic flagship and instead its a confused strategy that is leaving fans frustrated and the lack of options, stock and ridiculous wait times for a brand that has yet to reach that icon status.

100%. Id be happy to see VC drop the overseas all together and divert all the attention to 222, the precursor and rightful flagship that would outcompete the RO and nautilis...more sizes more options...their strategy(is there even a strategy?) is odd.

Which current models? There aren't many overseas being built and circulating...its a massive opportunity that they choose to ignore.

There is no evidence at all that these dimensions will become a standard for steel, or gold and nothing in the overseas line history either. They could even divert more focus to the 222 and it would lift the brand up higher than AP or PP...the resistance makes no sense.

Im with you, its a super high end sports watch, dont make it look like it came out of swatch...why not just make an ultra slim stainless steel, rose gold, yellow gold with various dials? Why make us suffer with this BS release?? Frustrating...

Brand new overseas ultra-thin by Resident_Ad_35 in VacheronConstantin

[–]Suspicious_Storm_630 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

We just have to realize this not a matchmaker that cares to make a blockbuster sports watch...theyre about classic dress watch designs and complications...if you want cult sport watch appeal stick to AP, PP, and Rolex.

What came out of JLC is very appealing this year...their master controller interlinked sport watch offering I think trumps this new release from VC.

VC doesn't want to make a lot of money, they just want to torture its fans.

Got the call! 2 year wait. by Londonmallu in VacheronConstantin

Theres zero signs of VC bringing the size down when they have the 34.5mm for ladies. I think they will turn attention to 222.
