Vacheron Constantin Overseas Collection

Vacheron Constantin’s Overseas collection is taking a bold new turn with the introduction of sunburst green dials, marking the first time this vibrant hue graces the collection. The latest models—the 35mm gems, 41mm date, 42.5mm chronograph, and 41mm dual time—add a fresh pop of colour and represent the fusion of elegance and versatility that defines the Overseas line, enhanced by a design philosophy that blends geometry with artistry. Paired with interchangeable bracelets and straps that offer three distinct styles in one timepiece, these pink gold creations are an invitation to explore the sophisticated, sporty world of Vacheron Constantin in a whole new shade.

The new intense green dials breathe life into the Overseas collection, which has previously featured classic colours like black, silver, pinkish beige, and the iconic blue. This unexpected twist showcases how the deep, rich tone of green complements the brilliance of pink gold, delivering a look that’s both refreshing and refined. The dial’s translucent lacquer finish accentuates depth, while the sunburst satin-brushed centre and velvet-finished flange create a luxurious backdrop for the gold hour markers and Super-LumiNova coated hands. The minute tracks—double or single depending on the model—ensure precise timekeeping, while the integrated pink gold bracelet with polished and satin-brushed links mirrors the elegance of the dial’s surface, completing the overall aesthetic with a circular satin-finished bezel.

The latest Overseas models are as practical as they are stylish. Water-resistant to 150 meters and featuring screw-down crowns, these watches are built to accompany their wearers anywhere. A soft-iron casing ring provides anti-magnetic protection for the self-winding calibres inside, each adorned with an 18K pink gold oscillating weight engraved with the collection’s signature compass rose. These robust movements, operating at 4Hz (28,800 vibrations per hour), offer a dependable power reserve while showcasing the fine craftsmanship that Vacheron Constantin is known for.

Versatility is a hallmark of the Overseas collection, and these new models are no exception. Each watch comes with three interchangeable bracelet/strap options, allowing for easy transitions between different looks. The integrated pink gold bracelet features a triple-blade quick-release folding clasp that allows for adjustments of up to 4mm by extending one or two links. Without the need for tools, this bracelet can be swapped out for either a green calfskin leather strap or a green rubber strap, both equipped with interchangeable pin buckles. This flexibility ensures that the watch can adapt to any setting, whether it’s a formal event, a casual day out, or an adventurous expedition.

Vacheron Constantin’s 2024 theme, “From Geometry to Artistry,” is perfectly embodied in these new Overseas models. Each watch begins with a geometrical sketch that evolves into a blend of shapes, colours, and textures, where mechanical precision meets artistic flair. The brand’s dedication to merging design with functionality is evident in every detail, from the clean lines of the case to the luxurious finish on the dial and bracelet. The theme resonates across Vacheron Constantin’s entire portfolio, including the Traditionnelle, Patrimony, Égérie, and Overseas collections, each offering its own interpretation of the balance between mathematical precision and artistic expression.

The four new Overseas models are equipped with high-performance calibres that offer exceptional reliability and precision. The open sapphire crystal casebacks reveal the meticulous finishing of the movements, including the 18K pink gold oscillating weights. The models range from the compact 35mm gem-set version to the larger 42.5mm chronograph, offering options for a variety of wrist sizes and preferences. Despite their different functionalities, all models maintain a consistent design language that ties them together within the Overseas collection.

Vacheron Constantin’s history of metal bracelets dates back to the early 20th century, and these new models continue that legacy with a modern twist. The bracelet’s construction combines traditional craftsmanship with the latest manufacturing techniques. Each link is meticulously crafted and finished by hand and the bracelet’s design is both functional and aesthetically pleasing. The Vacheron Constantin Overseas collection is priced at $58,500 USD for the gem-set 35mm Self-Winding (Ref. 4605V/200R-B969), $60,500 USD for the 41mm Self-Winding (Ref. 4520V/210R-B967), $75,500 USD for the Dual Time (Ref. 7920V/210R-B965), and $79,500 USD for the Chronograph (Ref. 5520V/210R-B966).
