The "Overseas" line, which has been the brand's sports collection since 1996, combines the sportiness expected of this world-renowned brand with a sense of luxury.

The History of Overseas
A Luxury Sport Model Introduced in 1996
The "Overseas" was born in 1996. As the brand's first sports collection for the coming 21st century, it debuted as a model brimming with the luxury befitting a "cloud-high" brand, with exquisite attention to detail.
However, its origins trace back to the "222" wristwatch developed in 1977 to commemorate the Maison's 222nd anniversary.
The model, codenamed "222," featured a stainless steel case and bracelet and was equipped with an automatic movement.
This model is the "222," the predecessor to the Overseas, introduced in 1977.
