Vacheron Constantin Overseas 4500V Box and Papers 2020 Blue
This is a Vacheron Constatin Overseas 4500V with a blue dial. It comes as a full set with box and papers from 2020 excellent condition. It will have the balance of the manufacture warranty.
It’s a 41mm case, but the integrated bracelet makes it feel a bit larger. The Geneva seal calibre 5100 movement inside beats away at 28.800 bph and boasts a 60hr power reserve. Lots of firsts for VC for the third generation of the Overseas: first time they’re using an in-house calibre, first time they’re using a Geneva seal calibre and first time there’s a display case back on an Overseas. The engraved, 22k solid gold rotor is a joy to look at. 150m water resistance means that you can easily swim with this watch. It’s also highly anti-magnetic.
Perhaps the most exciting change to grace the new Overseas line is the new quick-release system for the straps and bracelets. Just by pulling on a tab on the case back, the bracelet, leather strap or rubber strap can easily be released and interchanged without the use of a tool or a trip to the watchmaker. The best part is, all three bracelet/strap options are included with the watch.
Note, there is also a new easy-removal system for the deployant buckle of the straps. The bracelet can also be micro-adjusted on the fly via a novel mechanism; all it takes is a firm push towards, or tug away from the deployant buckle to shorten or lengthen the bracelet, respectively. As you would expect from a manufacturer of the highest pedigree, Vacheron Constantin finishes the exterior of the watch to an impeccable level, with mainly brushed surfaces (except for the bezel which is entirely mirror-polished) contrasted by bevelled and polished edges across the bracelet links and case.
The Overseas 4500V is for the collector who’s looking for haute horlogerie with the versatility to go anywhere.
