No. The Apple Watch will only connect to the local supported carrier it is setup with.
When outside of the country, it will depend entirely on the paired iPhone for cellular access.

About international roaming
- Cellular roaming isn't supported outside your carrier network coverage area.
- To cover the LTE and UMTS bands used around the world, cellular models of Apple Watch come in regional models for the Americas, China mainland, and Europe/Asia Pacific. Unlike iPhone, there isn't a worldwide Apple Watch model that supports all cellular bands used globally.
- When your Apple Watch is connected to your iPhone or a previously joined Wi-Fi network, you can still use all the features of your Apple Watch, even if cellular isn't available.
