Vacheron Constantin Overseas

Overall Condition: Excellent overall condition with some small surface wear from gentle handling. The crystal, dial, and hands are all in like-new condition.

There are sports watches, there are luxury sports watches, and then there is the Vacheron Constantin Overseas. In full rose gold with a deep green dial, the distinction becomes especially clear.

Dating to the 2020s, this Overseas Self-Winding pairs a 41mm case in 18K 5N rose gold with the collection’s beautifully engineered integrated bracelet. The signature six-sided bezel takes its geometry from Vacheron Constantin’s Maltese Cross emblem, while alternating brushed and polished surfaces emphasize the architecture of both case and bracelet.

And then there’s the color. The intensely saturated forest-green lacquered dial has a sunburst finish that shifts dramatically with the light, moving from near-black to brilliant emerald. Applied 18K gold hour markers and matching hands are filled with blue-emitting Super-LumiNova, while a framed date aperture sits neatly at 3:00. Against the warmth of rose gold, the green is simply fabulous.

Inside is Vacheron Constantin’s in-house automatic Calibre 5100, offering approximately 60 hours of power reserve and bearing the prestigious Hallmark of Geneva. The movement can be admired through the sapphire caseback, including its distinctive 22K gold winding rotor decorated with a compass-rose motif.

Part of the Overseas appeal is its remarkable versatility. Vacheron Constantin’s ingenious quick-change system allows the bracelet to be removed without tools, transforming the character of the watch in seconds. This example includes an additional green leather strap, original folding buckle, pouch, and travel case.

Better still, it comes accompanied by its inner and outer boxes and warranty card, making for a particularly attractive set.

Technically accomplished, beautifully finished, and almost indecently good-looking, this is one of those watches that demonstrates just how chic a modern sports watch can be. The rose gold and forest green combination is exceptional.
