I have been jonesing for this VC Overseas blue dial for quite some time! I like the subtle changes with the 4520V versus the 4500V, both amazing watches.



My heart is racing at this point!

About the Vacheron Constantin Overseas Ref. 4500V

The Vacheron Constantin Overseas reference 4500V is a contemporary interpretation of the brand's integrated bracelet sports watch, positioned as a versatile daily wear option within its high horology offerings. It represents a key model in the third generation of the Overseas collection, emphasizing robust construction and refined finishing.

This reference typically features a stainless steel case measuring 41mm in diameter and approximately 11mm in thickness, equipped with a screw-down crown and a transparent case back revealing the movement. It is powered by the in-house Caliber 5100, an automatic movement beating at 28,800 vibrations per hour, offering a power reserve of approximately 60 hours. The watch is distinguished by its six-sided bezel, inspired by the Maltese cross, and an integrated bracelet system with quick-change functionality for straps.

For collectors, the 4500V is notable for its blend of technical sophistication and practical wearability. Its Geneva Seal certification attests to the movement's exceptional quality and finishing. The quick-change strap system, allowing for easy interchangeability between the steel bracelet, leather, and rubber straps, enhances its appeal as a versatile luxury sports watch.
