Bringing a retrograde date to the Overseas for the first time, this piece pairs it with a starry precision moon phase on a deep blue dial. Collectors who love the easy wear of the three-hand Overseas but want a little more magic will feel right at home. Cue Sinatra’s “Fly Me to the Moon” on a long-haul flight, and you have the mood.
Presents itself in mint condition with little to no signs of wear. Set against a lacquered blue sunburst dial, applied 18K white gold markers catch the light as the blue shifts from deep navy to bright royal with every turn of the wrist. Framed by a polished bezel with six Maltese cross-inspired notches, the steel case mixes brushing and mirror polish for a sporty or dressy look. Revealed through the sapphire caseback, a 22K gold rotor shaped like a compass rose spins above the movement.
Functions include hours, minutes, retrograde date, and precision moon phase. Powering it all is the self-winding caliber 2460 R31L/2, with about 40 hours of power reserve and the Hallmark of Geneva. The screw-down crown at three o’clock does it all: unscrew it to wind, pull to the middle position and turn clockwise for the date or counterclockwise for the moon, then pull fully out to set the time. Every month, the date hand sweeps across the arc and flies back from 31 to 1 at midnight, and in shorter months, a few clockwise turns of the crown send it home early. The moon phase needs just a one-day correction every 122 years, and the case is water-resistant to 50 meters.
Comes as a complete set, boxed with blue leather watch pouch, zipped blue leather strap case, instruction booklet, international warranty card, hang tag, stainless steel bracelet, and blue rubber strap.
Built by the oldest watch manufacture in continuous operation since 1755, the Overseas is where that heritage loosens its tie. A steel bracelet and two straps swap without tools, so one watch covers a board meeting, a boat deck, and a long weekend. Keep it close if you’ve been waiting for an Overseas that tells you a little more about the sky.
