Vacheron Constantin – Overseas – Black Dial – 4500V/110A-B483 – 2020

The Overseas 4500V/110A-B483 is Vacheron Constantin’s answer to the modern luxury sports watch, blending Genevan haute horlogerie with the durability and versatility the category demands. Built around the maison’s signature nautical-inspired bezel — six rounded sections evoking a ship’s porthole — the Overseas carries proportions and finishing that distinguish it immediately from its more angular peers.

This 2020 example features the black dial, with its finely textured grained surface and luminous baton hour markers that bring strong legibility without disrupting the dial’s clean symmetry. The 41mm stainless steel case is finished with alternating polished and satin-brushed surfaces across the bezel, lugs, and bracelet, reflecting the level of case finishing Vacheron Constantin is known for at every price point.

Inside is the in-house Calibre 5100, an automatic movement built to Vacheron Constantin’s exacting standards and carrying the Hallmark of Geneva, a certification that requires both technical and aesthetic criteria be met, including finishing visible only on disassembly. The movement delivers a 60-hour power reserve, giving the watch real margin over a weekend off the wrist.

The Overseas line is also known for its interchangeable bracelet system, allowing the steel bracelet to be swapped for rubber or leather straps without tools, a thoughtful touch for a reference designed to move between settings. Combined with 150m water resistance, the 4500V/110A-B483 is a genuinely usable luxury sports watch with the pedigree of one of the oldest watchmaking houses in continuous operation.
