Nicknamed the “Panda” and impossible to mistake for anything else, the Overseas chronograph sits shoulder to shoulder with the Royal Oak and Nautilus at the summit of sport-luxury. For the collector chasing a genuine member of the watchmaking trinity in an everyday sports build, this is the piece noticed before a word is said.

Presents itself in mint condition with little to no signs of wear. Set against a silver sunburst base, three snailed black sub-dials and a black velvet flange lock in the high-contrast panda stare. Framed by a six-sided bezel shaped after the Maltese cross, brushed and mirror-polished surfaces trade matte for shine with every turn of the wrist. Crowned by a sapphire caseback, a 22-karat gold rotor bearing a wind-rose motif sweeps over movement finishing that carries the Hallmark of Geneva.

Functions include hours, minutes, small seconds, chronograph, and date. Unscrew the crown on the right of the case and wind the movement in that released position to build the roughly 52-hour power reserve. Pulled to its middle position, the crown quick sets the date, so nudge it to yesterday first. Drawn fully out, it sets the time, so carry the hands past midnight to land on today. Flanking the crown, the upper pusher starts and stops the chronograph while the lower pusher zeroes it, all driven by the in-house column-wheel caliber 5200 and sealed to 150 meters once the crown and pusher locks are secured.

Comes as a full set, boxed with warranty documentation.

Few sports-luxury chronographs move from bracelet to strap as freely, letting the panda dress up for the boardroom or down for the weekend without a tool in sight. Made for the collector who wants one watch that travels anywhere and still turns heads at the table, this is the quiet flex worth reaching for.
