Three interchangeable straps, a maison founded in 1755, and the Hallmark of Geneva on the movement put this blue-dial Overseas in rarefied company among steel sports watches. Long favored by the quietly wealthy who would rather whisper than shout, it slips from boardroom to beach without ever asking to be noticed.
Presents itself in mint condition with little to no signs of wear. A sunburst blue dial shifts from deep royal to near-electric as light moves across it, like the Mediterranean changing color through an afternoon. Behind the open sapphire caseback sits a 22K gold oscillating weight shaped like a wind rose, an old mariner’s compass that nods to the spirit of travel. Polished and brushed steel meet across the case, so it flashes gloss then matte as your wrist turns, framed by an unmistakable six-sided Maltese-cross bezel.
Functions include hours, minutes, central seconds, and date. Operation stays refreshingly simple. Unscrew the crown, then wind by hand in its resting position to feed the 60-hour power reserve. Pull the crown to its middle position to quick-set the date, then pull it fully out to set the time, where a hacking seconds hand stops dead for precise setting. Date sits cleanly at 3 o’clock, easy to read at a glance and simple to advance without disturbing the time.
Comes as a full set, boxed with warranty card, watch pillow, warranty booklet, and travel pouch, stainless steel bracelet and blue leather strap.
Built for the collector who wants one watch that does everything and announces nothing, a blue Overseas offers a restraint that louder integrated-bracelet sports watches rarely manage. For a buyer who would rather be recognized by the few than the many, reach out now to claim this complete-set example before it travels on to someone else.
