The Vacheron Constantin Overseas reference 4500V/110A-B128 is a luxury sports watch featuring a 41mm stainless steel case with a thickness of 11mm. It is characterized by its sunburst blue lacquered dial and a distinctive fixed bezel designed to evoke the brand’s Maltese cross emblem. The watch is powered by the in-house Caliber 5100 automatic movement, which is stamped with the Hallmark of Geneva and provides a 60-hour power reserve. It features a transparent sapphire caseback revealing a 22kt gold oscillating weight decorated with a wind rose motif. The case also includes a soft iron casing ring for anti-magnetic protection up to 25,000 A/m and is water-resistant to 150 meters.
In terms of complications, this model offers essential timekeeping functions including central hours, minutes, and seconds, along with a date aperture located at the 3 o’clock position. A notable functional feature is its highly versatile interchangeable strap system, which allows users to switch between a stainless steel bracelet, a blue Mississippiensis alligator leather strap, and a blue rubber strap without the use of tools. The steel bracelet further includes a comfort adjustment system to fine-tune the fit on the wrist.
General reviews of the Overseas 4500V often praise its exceptional finishing, particularly the alternating polished and satin-brushed surfaces of the case and bracelet. It is frequently highlighted as a strong contemporary alternative to other iconic integrated-bracelet sports watches, with collectors commending the depth and vibrancy of its blue dial. While the lack of a hacking seconds function is a common minor criticism among enthusiasts, the watch is widely regarded for its superior wearability and the practicality of its quick-release strap system.
