Vacheron Constantin Overseas 35mm brings an important change

Let's get a little personal here. I have always been a fan of the current generation Overseas. I appreciate the distinct visual aesthetic, particularly the shade of blue on the dial, and applaud how Vacheron Constantin is the only member of the Holy Trinity to use an interchangeable system on their integrated-bracelet sports watch design. A deterrent for me though, aside from the fact it is not necessarily in my budget, in terms of purchasing the marquee 41mm model, was not its diameter, but rather its lug-to-lug span of 49mm. To be clear, with my ~6.5 inch wrist I could pull it off, but a smaller size would be that much better for me. Now, Vacheron Constantin does offer a 37mm Overseas, but this model has one feature that gives me the ick, and that is an asymmetrically placed running seconds counter at the 9 o'clock position. This is why at Watches & Wonders 2023, I was very excited to see the debut of 34.5mm and 35mm models that utilise a central seconds hand – offering better dial purity and symmetry to a midsize Overseas model.
