Overseas Automatic “Jumbo” – White “Clous de Paris” Dial (42mm)

The Overseas Automatic “Clous de Paris” takes the standard sport watch formula and adds a layer of artisanal complexity. The dial isn’t just white; it is a landscape of tiny pyramids that capture light and shadow, giving the watch a depth and sophistication rarely seen in this category. It is a robust tool watch that feels like a piece of jewelry.

Design & Craftsmanship

Hobnail Guilloché:
The “Clous de Paris” pattern is the defining feature. This intricate texture transforms the white dial from plain to mesmerizing. It provides a matte, anti-reflective background that allows the polished hour markers and hands to pop, ensuring excellent legibility while adding a touch of old-world craft.

Integrated Excellence:
The bracelet is widely considered one of the best in the industry. The links are shaped like half-Maltese crosses, flowing seamlessly from the case. The interplay of brushed surfaces and polished internal angles creates a fluid, liquid-metal effect on the wrist that is instantly recognizable.

Built Tough:
Despite its elegant face, this is a serious sport watch. The solid caseback is engraved with the famous “Amerigo Vespucci” ship, symbolizing travel and exploration. Inside, a soft-iron inner cage protects the automatic movement from magnetic fields, ensuring precision in the modern world.

Technical Specifications

On The Wrist

The 42mm case has a broad, masculine stance, but the integrated lugs allow it to curve comfortably around the wrist. The white textured dial gives it a fresh, crisp look that works brilliantly in summer or under a white shirt cuff. It is distinctive without being loud.
