Hands-On With the Brand-New Vacheron Constantin Titanium Cardinal Points Collection
The brand-new Vacheron Constantin Overseas Titanium Cardinal Points Collection just got hands-on… and this might be the ultimate luxury travel watch.
Released to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Overseas, this four-watch collection combines full Grade 5 titanium construction with a travel-inspired concept built around North, South, East and West.
In this video, I get hands-on with the complete collection and ask how it compares to the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Dual Time and Patek Philippe Aquanaut Travel Time.
Here’s what we cover:
⌚ The story behind the four Cardinal Points colourways
⌚ How the 2021 Everest models and Cory Richards prototype influenced the design
⌚ The 41mm Grade 5 titanium case and matching bracelet
⌚ The in-house calibre 5110DT/3 with dual time, AM/PM indication and pointer date
⌚ The quick-change system with titanium, rubber and leather options included
⌚ How it compares to the Royal Oak Dual Time and Aquanaut Travel Time
At 41mm wide and 12mm thick, with 150 metres of water resistance, a 60-hour power reserve and the Hallmark of Geneva, this is a serious travel watch.
The Royal Oak Dual Time has a busier, more asymmetric display, while the Aquanaut Travel Time offers a cleaner design but less flexibility. The Overseas sits perfectly between them, combining excellent legibility with arguably the best versatility and overall ownership experience.
My verdict? The titanium construction, useful dual-time complication and three interchangeable strap options make this one of the most complete luxury sports watches released at Watches & Wonders 2026.
