Vacheron Constantin Overseas 34.5

How it wears

Wears larger than its 34.5 mm case suggests

Vacheron Constantin Overseas 34.5 measures 42 mm lug-to-lug on a 34.5 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.22 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 86% of the 8,054 watches in this database and shorter than 68% of the 34 Vacheron Constantin watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 47 mm (1.85 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 56 mm (2.20 in) it starts to look compact. Below 42 mm (1.65 in) the lugs are likely to overhang the wrist. Flat wrist width is measured straight across the top of the wrist, not around it.

At 9.3 mm thick it is on the slim side, thinner than 87% of the watches with a listed thickness.
