Vacheron Constantin Overseas 41mm (Ref. 4520V/210A-B128) mini review

Nov 11, 2024,22:41 PM

Hey everyone!

I’m thrilled to share my mini-review of the Vacheron Constantin Overseas 41mm (Ref. 4520V/210A-B128). My journey to this piece has been a little unconventional—I actually picked up the 222 first! But when I had the opportunity to buy this particular Overseas, which remains one of the most coveted models, I couldn’t pass it up.

As always, I’ll let the photos do most of the talking, but here are a few highlights for me. The dial, in particular, stands out—its deep royal blue hue is truly special and can be challenging to capture in photos. It has a unique character, which, in my opinion, distinguishes it from its counterparts from Audemars and Patek. The quick-change strap system adds a lot of versatility, letting it easily transition from casual to dressy.

A quick shoutout to Vacheron for a smart upgrade: they’re now delivering this watch in a sleek leather travel pouch and case, doing away with the oversized boxes and saving space. Finally!

I also had the chance to buy the solid gold Overseas with a green dial, but I ultimately went with this one. Knowing my collection includes the 222, would you have made the same choice?

Looking forward to your thoughts, and enjoy the photos!

Christian

Watch by Vacheron Constantin, Overseas, 4500V, 4500V/110A-B128

No arguments from me. Happened to be wearing this while reading your post. It also has an impressive water resistance.

Also, indubitably, I would have made the same decision vs the gold OS, the 222 does that even better in my opinion . Much enjoyment, cheers, Filip

Mine came in a 17 x 17 x 10.5 box and no travel pouch. ...

the pouch is new (most be after may, for the 222 I got the box too) when did you buy yours?

By: christianch : November 12th, 2024-08:48

Have you had the opportunity to compare this 4520V with the previous 4500V? I wonder if the changes make a real difference or not really. Enjoy your new timepiece !

not really! both were pretty rare birds at my boutique.. what changed?

By: christianch : November 12th, 2024-08:49

may be thickness and the straps now include calf and not alligator ? I think there are also some improvements in the strap changing e.g. buckle for the spare straps

Ok, thanks for your answer!

By: quattro : November 12th, 2024-09:37

And enjoy your timepiece!

👏

4500 to 4520 changes

By: India Whiskey Charlie : November 12th, 2024-14:48

Bracelet and straps taper to 18 mm instead of 20 mm before Case is approximately 0.34 mm thinner Date window size slightly reduced Small changes to movement and rotor decorations New buckle attachment design for straps No other known (by me) changes

Thank you very much !

By: quattro : November 12th, 2024-17:12

Then I suppose it’s slightly more wearable for tiny wrists like mine.

Way to go

By: sschew : November 12th, 2024-07:29

Christian. That is a great watch

thank you ! I also think is really a great one that can be used anytime without being too flashy

By: christianch : November 12th, 2024-08:50

the 222 is pretty discreet (due to the color and size) for being a gold watch but this even more

A beautiful timepiece.

Truly superb captures Christian! Thanks for sharing them! I also love your blue shirt in the first few pictures 🔥.

By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : November 12th, 2024-12:54

Also I am curious does the new 4520 movement keep good rate like the 4500 did or is it more around the 8sec/day VC use with the Geneva seal?

Congratulations on your latest incoming 🎊🎉🎈

The dial really is special - great choice 👌🏻🙌🏻

Congratulations Christian!

This is looking very cool. Very happy for you. This watch can be the best gada watch ever produced, put it on rubber strap and go swimming or skiing or whatever, than just change it to the bracelet and you are ready for the chic dinner at the restaurant. ...
