Agreed on that, but of the two I’d prefer the original Overseas. It also reminds me a little of VC’s Phidias, generally considered a bit of a misfire on the journey from 222 to Overseas. Apparently the Phidias dates from the 90s, but feels firmly stuck in the 80s. The 80s always strikes me as a difficult decade for watches, and fashion in general, though it gets the odd fond revival.
I have tried the Alpine Eagle and found it too flamboyant for my tastes, though it certainly feels like quality. Surprisingly bi-metal suits it well. As for the brand, I quite like them.
